The Fragrance of Magnolia

The Warring States era was a time of chaos, with rival powers rising everywhere.

She is the granddaughter of Bai Qi, who buried 400,000 Zhao soldiers alive. A master strategist, an extraordinary martial artist, and a peerless doctor, she can slay several men with one sword stroke and scatter a thousand troops with a single word. The King of Qin appointed her General Bai.

She is also the daughter of King Qian of Zhao. Born with breathtaking beauty, she hides beneath men's clothing to seek revenge. The vulnerability beneath her strong exterior bewilders the King of Qin, keeps the general by her side, and wins the King of Yan's heart.

He is the ruler of Qin. He grew up with her in Zhao's Wolf Valley, where they endured abuse and lived among wolves. Overbearing and unrestrained, rebellious and unruly, he has traveled across mountains and rivers to claim dominion over all under heaven. For that, he is willing to make a woman he does not love his queen and become enemies with the companion of his youth.

Everything he wants is already in his grasp, except her heart. He casts aside convention: whether she is a man or a woman, he will make her his. With a wave of his hand, he lifts the veil from the truth, revealing her peerless beauty before his eyes.

He wants her. His overwhelming desire consumes everything.

But she says calmly, "Put an eagle in a cage, and it will either die or escape."

Can he truly have both the kingdom and the woman he loves...?

If you like it, be sure to add it to your collection! The story gets even better later...

I haven't written in many years, not since I posted Love You in This Life and the Last on Qidian. After much thought, I finally decided to write a historical romance set in Qin. I think it's pretty good, even better than Love You in This Life and the Last, but why are the views and collections so pitiful? Let me timidly ask: am I getting old...?
