Chasing the Wind with a Crescent Blade

She came from the martial world, with a rootless past. Through her own efforts, she entered government service and became the dynasty's first female commander of the imperial guards. Ambitious and yearning for military life, she also treasures family and is devoted to her mother. The only thing she has no idea how to handle is love. The crown prince, five years her junior, has pursued her obsessively since childhood, becoming the greatest source of trouble in her life.

He is a heaven-blessed prodigy, heir to the throne, gifted from an early age, doted on by the emperor and empress, and adored by his subjects. His heart holds one person: the girl who saved him when he was young. She was once his teacher and his big sister, but over the years his feelings have grown clearer, hardening into a steadfast love.

All along the way, he pursues while she flees. He tries to draw close, while she rejects him at every turn. A misunderstanding leaves him wounded in body and spirit, while she comes to understand true love through a failed marriage. Can they still start over? And will the sudden outbreak of war make life and death the cruelest obstacle between them?

A friendly reminder: \(^o^)/~

1. This is entirely fictional and original. The forms of address and government system are a hodgepodge and are not based on any particular dynasty, so please don't nitpick the history.

2. All logic serves the development of the plot. Please don't dwell too much on what would happen in reality.

3. The first book in this series was an early work, and has many flaws. I'll revise it if I have time in the future. If you don't like it, you can skip it; that won't affect your enjoyment of this book.

4. I write purely as a personal hobby. Readers are free to come and go. If you don't like it, please click the X and leave the author a pleasant writing environment.
