Synopsis

Lin Xi is a princess of the Xu Kingdom, with raven-black hair and snow-white skin. Her beauty is renowned throughout the land.

One day, outside the city gates, Zhu Peice, the ruthless and bloodthirsty crown prince of the Li Dynasty, personally led a large army to force her into marriage.

She thought that since he had gone to such lengths to marry her, she must hold some place in his heart. So she quietly offered him her sincere affection, hoping they could spend the rest of their lives in tender devotion.

That was until his beloved, the moonlight of his heart, came knocking, humiliating and tormenting her at every turn. The crown prince, who had always cherished and protected her, withdrew all his warmth, leaving her with nothing but his cold back.

Only when Lin Xi saw those delicate, familiar features did she realize she was nothing but a lowly substitute.

Her clear eyes glistened with tears. She smiled. "So that's how it is. And yet, it's no great thing after all."

That day, Lin Xi stood atop the city wall in the capital, dressed in a pale moon-white skirt patterned with clouds.

Her cool gaze fell on Zhu Peice's handsome face, taut with panic. She declared firmly, "A princess of the Xu Kingdom may divorce, but never become a concubine."

With that, she leaped from the wall, ending their already shattered marriage once and for all.

The man, usually cold-hearted and bloodthirsty, had never before had his eyes turn red. Trembling, he picked up the blood-soaked woman and suddenly burst into tears. "It was you all along..."

Later, after many twists and turns, Zhu Peice finally found that graceful figure on the borderlands.

He shielded the young woman with his tall frame. Never in his life had he wanted so desperately to hide her away, so she would never again be battered by the storm.

He heard his own trembling voice pleading, "Come back with me. Whatever you want, whatever the Xu Kingdom wants, I'll take it for you."

But the young woman slowly slipped out of his arms and gave a soft laugh, cool and distant. "What I want most, Your Highness, is for you to leave this place and never set foot in the Xu Kingdom again."

Upcoming novel 1

The Young Lord's Wife Runs Away Pregnant

[A heartbroken legitimate daughter x a young lord consumed by regret]

Gu Lin, daughter of the chief minister, was so set on one man that she resorted to trickery to marry Lu Yi, heir to the Duke of Dingguo.

Young Lord Lu was cool and handsome, exceptionally talented, and admired by countless young women.

Ever since that day when he returned victorious from battle, riding past in his armor, those roguish, carefree eyes sweeping over her, Gu Lin had been unable to think of anyone else.

But she had always known that Lu Yi did not love her.

She thought, perhaps if enough time passed, he would come to love her.

Later, Lu Yi divorced her, the entire Gu clan was arrested, and she was trampled into the dirt.

Only then did Gu Lin understand that her husband, whom she had loved with all her heart, had always cared only for the frail woman he cherished as his moonlight.

All the tenderness and affection he had shown her had been nothing more than a way to protect the woman in his heart.

When arrows came flying at her from every direction, Gu Lin stopped trying to dodge. She knew deep down that there was no one left to protect her.

With misty eyes, she watched the couple in the distance, perfectly matched and deeply in love. She thought: This moth-to-flame romance has finally reached its end. There will never be a future for her and Lu Yi.

Snow fell thickly as she stood alone at the edge of a cliff.

Lu Yi finally lost his composure. "Come back. Whatever you want, I'll give you everything."

She looked at the swirling mist far below, where the bottom of the cliff was nowhere to be seen, and suddenly smiled. "But I don't want what you have to give anymore."

Without hesitation, she jumped. From that moment on, there was no longer a Madam Lu in this world.
