The Beauty Beside the Lord

Upcoming historical romance: The Princess's Marriage Alliance. What can you do when you are born in a time of turmoil? Even ants struggle to survive, let alone people. The King of Jiangdong wanted to marry her, and she had no choice but to wed him. Jinshu bowed deeply to her parents, thanked them for their kindness, said her farewells, and climbed into the wedding carriage. Looking back once more, she saw the vast lands north of the Yangtze veiled in a light mist. She could no longer make out the road behind her, and what lay ahead was unknown. The sky was overcast that day, and the north wind cut to the bone. Her attendant warmed a hand warmer for her to tuck into her sleeve. She sat steadily in the carriage, shut her eyes, and fought back tears. Behind her, her mother wept bitterly, whether from sorrow at their parting or pity for her, she could not tell. Her father snapped, "Enough!" Her mother immediately stopped crying and murmured, "The King of Jiangdong is a barbarian. My daughter is so delicate..." On the day she left to be married, the skies were filled with gloom. Yet she never imagined that when she returned, she would be showered with honors, with her entire clan kneeling before her and kowtowing in fear: "Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress! A thousand times ten thousand lives!" Reborn. Fictional setting, no need to fact-check. A sweet, satisfying story with a Mary Sue heroine. The setting blends different elements, and the language mixes classical and modern styles. If that bothers you, proceed with caution. Please heed the warnings. This novel will be available for paid access starting February 24, with three chapters that day. Thank you for your support! Theme:
