The princess knelt only once in her life, begging her father, the emperor, to grant her a certain person.
The emperor agreed.
The princess knelt a second time in her life, begging her father to arrange a marriage between her and that person.
The emperor agreed to that, too.
The princess knelt a third time in her life, begging her father to take back his decree.
She knelt from dawn until dusk.
In the end, the emperor agreed.
The princess, heartbroken, went far away to the borderlands.
The last thing that person ever saw of the princess
was the bright, proud woman, drenched in blood, still smiling as she told him, "I, Princess Guo'an, have only ever truly been worthy of you."
P.S.:
1. A tearjerker.
2. Short story.
3. Updates whenever I feel like it.
4. I don't think it will be more than 20,000 words.
5. Romance, historical setting.
A danmei story is planned for June.
