True love may not appear when your life is shining bright. It may come when you’re at your lowest.

*One couple in the same timeline, realistic, healing, happy ending.

"Princess Chang'an"

"From the empire’s most exalted princess to the beloved queen of a vassal state"

A chance encounter led young Chang'an to fall for Liu Xuan, the only son of a treasonous princess and a consort’s lover. From then on, no matter how many fine men the world had to offer, none could compare to the ten thousand miles of stars shining in Brother Xuan’s eyes.

But she never imagined that her mother, Empress Dowager Zhaoguang, who had indulged her in every way since childhood, would oppose her love at every turn because of her deep-seated grudge against the former dynasty’s traitorous princess. Her mother would allow her to keep male favorites, but not marry Liu Xuan, and even insisted on betrothing her beloved to her lowborn half-sister.

So Chang'an ran away.

And by a twist of fate, she went from being the powerful Grand Princess Dingguo to becoming the queen of Feng Jiangling, ruler of the Northern Realm's Zhifeng Kingdom.

The world is cruel, and fate plays tricks on us. As Chang'an spends her days in the Northern Realm's harem, she unexpectedly senses that the young ruler, once as close to her as a comrade in arms, has developed feelings for her. Then, when a sudden coup strikes the Zhifeng Kingdom, she must make her final choice in love at a critical moment.

A reserved, devoted Northern ruler + an imaginative Princess Dingguo + the peerlessly beautiful Marquis Chaohua

At its heart, this is a story about a pampered imperial princess mourning her first love, only to unexpectedly find true love in a political marriage.
