The Azure Phoenix Crosses the Mountains

[They won't get back together] [The husband pursues his wife to the crematorium] [Pure and naive, clear-headed and independent young princess vs. decisive and ruthless, deeply devoted young lord of Hanhai] [They watched me fall into the abyss. Only you said you'd take me away.] As the young princess of Yunzhong, Jiang Fuyuan was treasured and adored by her parents and closest family from childhood. But the imperial court was rife with danger, and the various factions pushed her toward the throne of the Great Liang empress. The emperor of Great Liang was a cautious ruler who upheld the status quo, stern and cold in his ways. On the eve of her coronation as empress, he had once saved Jiang Fuyuan by chance. Because of that connection, Jiang Fuyuan hoped to share a lasting, faithful love with the emperor. But after giving him all her heart, all she received was his cold declaration: "Don't presume to be my wife. The only woman I have ever considered my empress is Mei Zhiyu." Mei Zhiyu, the emperor's childhood sweetheart, had spent half a year away in seclusion before returning. Jiang Fuyuan watched helplessly as the emperor defied convention for Mei Zhiyu and risked the world's condemnation for her. At last, Jiang Fuyuan gave up completely and asked to be deposed. The day she left the palace, her flowing robes seemed ready to carry her into the sky. Watching her slender figure, the emperor suddenly felt as if his heart and liver had been ripped out, pain cutting to the bone. * * * * * Yun Jixing was born in Hanhai and was a brave, skilled warrior. After returning from three years of suppressing a rebellion, everyone clamored to witness the brilliant spirit of the young hero. Only after returning did he learn that the woman he had loved for three years was to marry into the imperial family. Unable to accept it, he found ways to enter the Ziwei Palace, staying by her side, comforting her, and waiting for his chance. In the end, he took her away with him. [Little Scene One] People couldn't understand why Yun Jixing, young lord of Hanhai and a man who had won extraordinary military honors, was willing to stay quietly in the capital as an idler, visiting the Ziwei Palace every day. Only Yun Jixing's brothers, who were off fighting across the land and risking their lives for him, knew why: he was there to steal someone away. [Little Scene Two] On their first New Year's Eve as a married couple, Jiang Fuyuan asked her husband for lucky money. But Yun Jixing playfully refused. Later that night, she felt something heavy in her arms. When she opened her eyes, she saw her handsome husband resting his face against her shoulder. Without another word, he kissed her. "I'm here to ward off bad luck." Next book: "The Rugged Man and His Sweetheart" ※ A ruthless, taciturn general x a girl who has occasional emo spells Female lead's blurb: A man moved into the farm next door. He was tall and powerfully built. In the thin summer clothes, his chest muscles bounced as he ran. Every day, he sat beneath the eaves drinking, his figure looking desolate in the sunset, like a caged beast with no ambition. His pond was full of lotus roots and fish, and his grape trellis was laden with grapes, but he left them all unattended. I wanted to sneak over his fence one dark, windy night, dig up his lotus roots, grill his fish, pick every last grape, then sit on his lap and make a complete nuisance of myself. Male lead's blurb: That girl was suspicious. Every day, as she passed his fence, she stared at him without blinking. At first, she tried to hide it. Later, she did it openly, and even dared to come over and strike up a conversation. She was full of life, like a wild rice paddy growing unchecked. At first, he wanted to keep his distance. Later, all he wanted was to wade through the water and straighten every fresh, lively seedling. In the end, all he wanted was to take her away, climb the tallest and most perilous peaks, cross the clearest and quietest streams, and grow old together in some gentle, enchanted haven. The blurb was screenshotted on Weibo on June 8. Reader's guide: 1. Both leads are each other's one and only. 2. The male lead is not an emperor. 3. They won't get back together. 4. The male lead is a male version of the Little Mermaid. 5. A fictional setting that's extremely fictional. The author writes whatever comes to mind; everything serves the plot. 6. The author's style is silly, and even a pursuit-to-the-crematorium story probably won't change that. I'll try to be serious. Theme: Don't depend on anyone, don't pin your hopes on anyone, and fear nothing
