Synopsis

She always remembers their first meeting that year: the Jade Belt Bridge over the Jinshui River was flawless, and his delicate features were wrapped in the pale golden mist. After one glance, spring flowers bloomed in profusion and the moon shone full in the heart of heaven. After nights of joy come sorrow and heartache. The young man, once as gentle and graceful as a poem, loses his father and sees his family ruined. His title is stripped away, his official post revoked, and his days of fine clothes and spirited horses are gone. The golden wind and jade dew turn to frost. She becomes the only clear light left in his life. He gives up his dreams and his dignity, wishing only to fulfill that promise and bring them together in this life, beneath the same sky. This is a fictionalized Ming dynasty setting. Historical figures from before the Ming dynasty also appear, and a few elements of official life, customs, and so on are drawn from the Qing dynasty. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, and the story moves slowly. If it feels too slow, you can skip Volume One and go straight to Volume Two~ I have to say, this story has plenty of angst, but it has a happy ending. The sweet parts are bittersweet, and the satisfying parts are bittersweet too. Currently writing and nearing completion: The Empress of Destiny. Come take a look! Theme:
