Married to the East Wind

For the sake of her aunt’s insistence that it had to be done, and for the few uncertain years of peace the Chu dynasty might enjoy, she gave up the one she had loved since childhood and resolutely went north to marry for peace. She had thought they would spend their lives apart, their hearts forever divided. Who could have guessed that the steadfastness of the man she had married would kindle the most brilliant flame of her life? Tossed about by the truth of her birth, toyed with by those in power, betrayed by her closest kin, and clinging to life amid blades and bloodshed, she gradually grew from a carefree young lady of a noble family into a cold, solemn woman of the palace. Trapped within its walls, she would shed blood, but never again tears. Between the gentle childhood sweetheart and the husband bound to her through life and death, who matters more? Between the family bound to her by blood and the inexorable tide of conquest and territory, how can she have both? Only after being driven step by step to the brink does one find the courage to seek a way through the darkness. Peach and apricot blossoms cannot escape their final return to the earth, becoming spring’s rich soil. Yet even if they wither in an instant, having once married the east wind is better than dying on the branch. She chose to leave at the height of her brilliance. Her life was no longer as pure and clear as a stream, but like the sharp streak of rouge across a peerless face: the bloodier it was, the more dazzling it became. A woman’s heart follows her body. She never understood that before, but now she wants only to stay by the man at her side, and has no choice but to do so. He is her whole world. A novel by Yue Da: gothic, cozy, and healing.
