The young princess Feng Qi has a lowborn mother and a playboy for a father. But what's wrong with being the darling of the whole family?
Her older brother is about to become crown prince, and wealth and glory are within reach. On the way to the capital, she even picks up a down-on-his-luck scholar...
Who could have known that the world would change overnight, leaving the young princess a pawn in her elders' power struggle?
Sent thousands of miles away for a political marriage, she finds herself among wolves and tigers.
The realm is in turmoil, and the people are scattered and displaced.
Enemy cavalry kick up clouds of dust, and the emperor is forced to flee.
The husband before her is like a dangerous beast, devouring her homeland and threatening to devour her, too.
Facing a war-torn wasteland and scorched white bones, the young princess asks through her tears, "The world is vast, but where is our country? Where is our home?"
The young scholar who gave up his brush to join the army looks around and tells her, "Where there's land, there's a country. Where you are, that's home."
Feng Qi wipes away her tears, realizing that amid these endless clouds of foreign dust, the two of them must become heroes together.
Notes:
* One-on-one romance with a happy ending, but the second male lead is very assertive, and the male lead will be gone for quite a while.
* The romance develops slowly. It's not a fluffy, doting romance, but there are sweet moments.
* Set in an alternate Northern Song. It can't recreate history exactly, but historical discussion is welcome.

"A Painted Boat Without Wind or Moon"
Along the Suzhou River, painted boats sway on the water, and the boat girls are among the finest sights of all.
The homely cook A Ce works deftly, then serves up another tableful of delicacies.
Seeing the scar on half her face, a diner teases, "A Ce, shouldn't you be getting married? Marry me and I'll treat you well. You only have to serve me after the lights go out."
"If A Ce becomes my concubine, she'll have all the rouge and powder she could want. Just remember to paint only half your face."
"Keep dreaming!" A Ce touches the scar on her face and laughs, feisty and teasing, setting the diners roaring with laughter.
She knows one of them, the dignified-looking Gu Wei. He was once a poor scholar, but now he's married the granddaughter of the chief minister and wields immense power. He watches coldly as she makes a spectacle of herself.
Later, as Gu Wei eats the fish noodles she made, he suddenly says, "A Ce, come with me."
"I'm not worthy of you!" Her smile is the coquettish one expected in her trade, but her heart is cold.
A beast in fine clothes like him, a toady who curries favor with the powerful, forms cliques, and plots against the innocent, is despised by all. She would rather die than become his kept woman and let him control her.
"I have eyes and ears everywhere, A Ce. You can't escape the palm of my hand," he says. "I want to repay your kindness. You can't refuse." His fingers brush the scar on her face, and a soft sigh escapes his chest.
"Besides," he says slowly, "I'm the only one who can avenge you!"
"Seeking the Way"
After a breakup, Zhou Mimi wants to take an unusual transmigration trip, but she never expected the discount deal to be such a rip-off! Such a rip-off!
Her transmigration trip has no "numbered princes"! No devoted emperors! No bewitching, arrogant princes, imperial sons, dukes, or marquises!
And the wristband that provides a full-immersion connection to the modern world and an Any-Door portal has run out of battery!
Oh... an era with no charging ports...
She wipes her tears. She has to get home.
She searches for a way, cutting through every obstacle.
Theme: In times of turmoil, everyone bears responsibility for the fate of the realm. The men and women of a troubled age love deeply.
The ending was belatedly completed. A very touching pair of heroic sons and daughters. The characters are flesh and blood. Although they are fictional, the sense of history of the Song Dynasty gradually unfolds. I started watching Jinjiang in 2018. I feel that 20 years ago, there were quite a lot of historical themes in Jinjiang, and there were many wonderfully written ones. But after 21 years, especially in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer historical romance novels, and fictional novels with various magical settings have emerged one after another. The style and plot are single, and the characterization is also very thin. There are few protagonists as cute as Tingqing and General Gao. At the same time, there are almost no works that describe the northern peoples in such a wonderful way. The Story of Shangjing Palace is really love-making, and both the male and female protagonists are extremely charming. I hope the author will continue writing. There are not many authors who write wonderful stories in Jinjiang. I look forward to the next wonderful story.
I revisited it again after two years and wrote a brief review. This book uses the historical background of the turn of the Song Dynasty (semi-fictional), takes the maritime alliance between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty as the clues in the middle and early stages, and the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the civil resistance against the Jin Dynasty, and the conspiracy of the peace talks in the early Southern Song Dynasty as the middle and later stages. In the process, many vivid characters are portrayed, and the characters are very tense. In terms of the plot, there are not only the magnificent righteousness of the family and the country, and the war for ten miles, but also the love between children and daughters who share the joys and sorrows in troubled times. It is thick and vivid but not depressing, which is just right. Both the male and female protagonists have online IQs and play an important role in turning the tide. They can be called heroes. In terms of character design, the character is vividly portrayed. The heroine is really like a living historical figure. She has great wisdom and arrogance but lacks experience and naivety. She is also a bit squeamish due to being spoiled since childhood, but it is just right. She slowly grows up from the war and becomes tough and resolute (not bitter and hateful). She is not a perfect prop dummy without emotions and growth. The female supporting role is also very outstanding. The cousins, who have similar faces and similar personalities, but different fates, feed the enemy with their bodies, are proud, and have an unyielding soul dormant in the mud and humble body. The chapter where she dies and marries her country at the end of the day really made me cry. The most rare thing is that (many) male authors often rely too much on grand narratives and have empty slogans and ambitions but ignore many important details such as daily life, local customs and customs. (Many) female authors often focus too much on trivial matters such as the love between children and parents, and ignore the macro perspective and planning layout. But this article has both grandeur and subtlety, which is perfect. I have never been able to resist this kind of historical writing, or writing that uses the history of dramas as a background framework. The authors who dare to write like this today can only be in two extremes, either extraordinary or amazing, and there is no mediocre person. This writing method extremely tests the author's comprehensive writing skills, whether the writing style can have an ancient charm but be natural and harmonious without being artificial. Whether titles, official positions, historical events, customs, and characteristics of the times are accurately grasped without being confusing and childish, often the author is incompetent and makes jokes that combine the characteristics of different times into a mess. Life experience, vocabulary accumulation, reading amount, classical Chinese, Ming and Qing scripts, historical familiarity, information retrieval ability, etc. Are all the keys to whether you can write with a sense of immersion. For purely fictional ancient stories, you only need to consider the character design and plot arrangement, but there are many more things to consider when writing this kind of historical or semi-fictional historical texts. Nowadays, more and more authors are aware of the difficulties of this writing method. They use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and tend to completely ignore them to facilitate writing. It's a favorite, a super treasure, the writing is elegant, the plot has ups and downs, the characters are flesh-and-blood, the images are full and full of tension. Please come on!
Thanks to the author for his creation. Nowadays, it is rare for jj to write wonderful articles on heavy historical subjects. Among all the industrial sweeteners, this article is extremely precious.
The people who were slaughtered and enslaved like pigs and dogs by them were now ten times and a hundred times more miserable. How can retribution be considered miserable?
Congratulations on the completion of Zada!!!! I want to put aside the storyline and talk about my journey of pursuing the article [Actually, my brain capacity is a bit insufficient, and I can't remember many details. Trying to recall the plot and then writing rashly may mislead other readers. I will definitely review it carefully in the future] I have been looking forward to the son and daughter hero chapter since I started writing, but I didn't expect it to be explained so well (crying wildly). Family and country are one. I rarely expect the author in novels to portray small love and small love while also taking into account the big picture. So when I saw that Zhai was able to produce bits and pieces of high quality and finish it perfectly despite the shocking data, I really admired it!!! This is not simply a work that wants to express some private personal emotions. I can feel that Zhai actually wants to leave something good, sincere, and enlightening to the world, and he is very full of heart. So when I saw Zhai Sanyuan's very tired state, I was worried about whether I would be exhausted when writing. Some people like to ridicule the expectation of depth in Xiaoyan, because they really treat it as a classic. I used to want to refute it, but I felt that I really couldn't provide a good example. Zhai Da The works made me see this kind of sincerity. I think those who were able to write famous works that were handed down from generation to generation did not have the utilitarian motive of "I want to write an eternal masterpiece that will be praised forever" at the beginning. They may just want to write their own expectations for this world. I don't want to put a high hat on Zhai, Zhai does not need to feel pressure. I can see that Zhai has had a hard time catering to the market and maintaining his own balance along the way. No one can generate electricity purely out of love, so I would like to encourage Zhai from the perspective of a reader. It is a sincere work. God will not let down this effort. The flow of water does not rush to be first, but the competition is endless. It is advisable to keep an eye on the scenery! Each of Zhai Da's works has made great progress compared to the previous one. During this time, when I revisit Chu Xiang's Dream, I can feel that the female consciousness and power of Feng Chen are stronger than Chu Xiang's. This is a good sign! I can write whatever I want to write from now on. Although this preserved article will be late, I will catch up on the new articles.
When will the author publish a new article?
Late at night, I read the story of Tingqing Jiashu's heroic sons and daughters in the song of Qianqiu Family and Country Dream. I want to say a lot but don't know where to start, so let's use the lyrics to express my mood: In previous lives, we were destined to run through the winds and rains of sorrow and joy. Now you are gone What's gone is broken and broken. More than just a love affair between children So in the legend of life, because you have become so beautiful Just let me know that he knows God knows your heart Tingqing Jiashu must be a heroic son and daughter who will be recorded in the history books of later generations. Thank you to the author for bringing us such a good story, thank you!
The children of Jianghu have their own chivalrous feelings, and I have always felt that Feng Qi and Xiao Gao have a strong Jianghu spirit, and they are free and lively. The author's writing style is quite concise, and the characters are clearly established. It is a rare work that will leave you feeling a bit confused after reading it and savoring it over and over again.
Even though he died nine times, he still had no regrets. A vote for Shen Sujie and Pingping!
Fengqi is really affectionate and righteous, this character is handled very well
