Snow Rose

Since the day she was born, snow roses have bloomed wherever she lived. They are her life-protecting flowers.

Like those flowers, she is pure as frost and snow, and as clever as she is beautiful.

She has loved him for a long time and helped him claim the throne. In the eyes of others, she is merely the most ordinary gift he cannot refuse.

People say his beloved is the most noble and beautiful woman of all. But from the first time he saw her, he cherished and loved her without restraint, wishing he could pluck the sun, moon, and stars for her.

He disregarded her humble birth and overcame all objections to marry her as his principal consort, promising her, "One day, I will make you empress."

Born into the imperial family, he is neither the eldest nor the legitimate heir, yet even the emperor and the crown prince must treat him with respect.

Gentle as jade and possessed of an immortal's grace, he nevertheless acts on a whim, repeatedly taking audacious risks, and has carved out a territory of his own at a young age.

He learned of the grievances between his parents. Between husband and wife, they swore to live and die together when their love was strong, and turned against each other when it faded.

He is passionate about expanding the borders and scheming for the throne, and has never given any thought to the mutual love spoken of by lovesick fools.

The first time he saw her, he saw the rise and fall of the world, the oceans drying up and the stones crumbling.

At last, he understood that there is always someone in this world who can make all your reason and convictions count for nothing, scattering them like smoke.
