The Qi Annals record: Princess Jiang Wu of Ning, eldest legitimate daughter of Emperor Ming’an, possessed beauty enough to make fish sink and the moon hide. She was gentle and refined, and skilled at playing the konghou.
Yet someone like her died in the year she turned sixteen.
It is said that when news of her death reached the banks of the Shuyi River, the general vomited blood.
No matter how the history books described her beauty and grace, he knew how much she had endured, and how deeply she had suffered.
She was the granddaughter of a deposed empress. She had received little favor in life, yet was honored with the utmost ceremony after death.
Her death helped her father eliminate the last threat to his claim and seize the throne.
But she never lived to see her beloved return...
The less serious version: What’s it like to succeed in the fight for the throne, die anyway, then be reborn as your twin sister?
The beginning may look like a bad ending, but it really does have a happy ending. This is the first novel I’ve written in earnest, after all, and I still have a will to survive.
Thumbs up for your cover, I always feel like the article is missing something, to be honest
