The Bride Who Was a Political Hostage

After a ceasefire, the two nations sealed the peace with a marriage alliance. Zhou Qingqing, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Prince of Dingxi in the Southern Zhou, was ordered to marry into the Western Qin, where she would wed Qin Zhen, the Western Qin emperor's own younger brother, Prince Wu. While Zhou Qingqing's father, the Prince of Dingxi, was alive, he had defeated the Western Qin army many times, killing tens of thousands of its soldiers. He was an enemy hated by every citizen of the Western Qin. From the high-ranking officials to the common people, everyone in the Southern Zhou said that County Princess Changning Zhou Qingqing would likely meet a grim fate in this marriage. The rumors Zhou Qingqing had heard were that Prince Wu Qin Zhen was also the Western Qin's God of War, a hulking brute who ate human flesh and drank human blood, with countless lives on his hands. He was said to be the very image of a demon king. Zhou Qingqing: So I'll either be drowned in spit by the people of the Western Qin or tortured to death by Prince Wu Qin Zhen. Either way, I'm doomed, huh? (I just want some peace and quiet~~) Note: The setting is even more made-up than the author's name, so don't nitpick~~ New historical romance project, please add it to your favorites. Theme:
