Lucky to Have Seen Your Peach-Blossom Face

[The full novel is complete. The official Jinjiang edition has been revised.]

[My historical romance set in the same dynasty, "Snow Falls in Chang'an," is now underway. Please check it out!]

This novel is also known as "Crossing to You." Blurb:

The Great Liang's border defenses are on the brink of collapse. General Pei Xun is accused of treason and his entire family is sentenced to execution. In the capital Chang'an, the Crown Prince is framed, deposed, and imprisoned...

Yan Jingxuan, young heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, leads troops to stabilize the border. After returning to the capital, he sets out to uncover the truth and meets A Qing, who has the same goal.

"I only want to join forces with the young marquis."

Young Marquis Yan looks at her coldly and scoffs. "Then tell me, what are you plotting, and what am I plotting?"

"You want to clear His Highness the Crown Prince's name. I want to clear the general's household of its false charges and give them justice," A Qing says. A light veil covers her face, but her eyes are beautiful, bright with every glance.

Later, everyone in the streets says that Yan Jingxuan, the young heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, is a heaven-blessed talent, elegant and refined, yet he protects the daughter of a traitor accused of treason.

[Bonus Scene]

Candlelight flickers as a red-sleeved beauty adds fragrance to the room.

Yan Jingxuan sets down his book and looks down at A Qing. "Have you ever thought about marrying me?"

A Qing's expression stills slightly. She meets his eyes, a faint smile on her lips, and asks softly, "Would the young marquis mind that I love someone else?"

Yan Jingxuan smiles frankly. "I would. But I'm alive, and he's dead. As the years pass, there will always be a place for me in your heart, and only me."

"All right. Let's marry."

Only much later does Yan Jingxuan learn that A Qing has loved only him all along. He is the faint light in her endless night, the one and only thing she cherishes in this cold world.

[Reading Guide]

① Romance-focused, plot-driven story. One-on-one pairing, happy ending, both leads are virgins. The male lead falls first and pursues the female lead. His feelings for the Crown Princess were an innocent first crush, while his love for the female lead is the only true love of his life. If this bothers you, read Chapter Six first. If it still bothers you, please drop the story without telling me.

② Fictional setting with many original details. No historical research required.

③ The romance and plot progress slowly at first, but the pace picks up later. This is my first attempt at political intrigue, so please forgive any shortcomings.

[Here's a preview of "Demons in Chang'an" (reborn). The male lead of this novel, Yan Jingxuan, is the son of a princess of the imperial family and a descendant of the leads of "Demons in Chang'an".]

Preview of "Demons in Chang'an" (reborn), my next book:

Jiang Luan is the youngest princess of Great Wei and its only legitimate princess. The golden bell around her ankle was tied there by Emperor Wei himself.

Hear the bell, and you know the princess has arrived.

When the little princess is one year old, Great Wei and Great Liang go to war. Liang is defeated and sends its eldest legitimate prince, Li Zhao, to the Wei palace as a hostage.

One day, the little princess wanders into Li Zhao's bedchamber. She stares at him with wide eyes for a while, then asks in a soft, childish voice, "Are you an older brother too?"

The little princess is clever and beloved by Emperor Wei. He says, "If A Luan were a boy, I could have named her Crown Prince long ago."

Soon, rumors spread that Emperor Wei intends to make the little princess Crown Prince. But when she is fourteen, she falls into the water and dies...

**

Jiang Luan wakes once more, back at the age of eight, after falling into the water and being carried back to his Fuyun Palace by Li Zhao.

She had a dream. In it, after her death, Li Zhao returned to Great Liang, became its Crown Prince, and later ascended the throne as Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang Li Changyuan leads his army into battle. Great Liang's iron cavalry kills without mercy, moving like ghosts. Wherever they pass, the Wei army crumbles and the rivers run red with blood.

After capturing the Wei palace, Emperor Liang orders the slaughter of the entire Great Wei imperial family and the palace staff, and has the recently enthroned Emperor Wei torn apart by horses.

Everyone calls him a tyrant, but Jiang Luan knows he isn't.

In the dead of night, the tyrant Li Changyuan tightly clutches a golden bell wrapped with red cord in his palm.

Decades pass in the blink of an eye. The tyrant dies without ever taking an empress, leaving no children behind, and the feudal lords rise in revolt.

Emperor Liang's only final wish is to be buried with the golden bell.

Now Jiang Luan looks at Li Zhao, his face full of concern. She gives him a weak smile and softly calls, "Brother, I'm here."

Reading Guide: The female lead is reborn. In her previous life, the male lead was a tyrant who, after capturing the Wei palace, killed the people who harmed her.

Preview of "Ming Yue Is Here" :

Ming Zhan, the top third-place candidate in this year's imperial examinations, is sent away for three years to serve as magistrate of Linze County.

On the way to take up his post, he comes across a young girl being chased by several burly men wielding sticks.

The girl is dressed in rags and is filthy with mud and tears, but her eyes shine like black pearls. Ming Zhan, whose heart is usually as cold as iron, suddenly feels compassion.

He pays a large sum to buy her, then has a servant take her back to his home to work as a maid.

Three years later, his term of service ends, and he returns to the capital to report on his work.

Among the people waiting outside the Ming residence is a young girl, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, standing gracefully as she gazes fixedly at him.

He looks up at her. The girl blushes and softly calls, "Bro... brother."

Later, Ming Zhan discovers that the girl loves him, and that he loves her too.

-

Jiaojiao has been obedient and sensible since childhood, afraid her parents might abandon her, yet she is still sold to the Yuyan House.

She secretly makes inquiries, and someone tells her that no girl who enters that place can hope to survive.

Terrified, Jiaojiao flees in the middle of the night. Soon, her pursuers catch up with her. She runs and cries, utterly despairing.

Then she spots a carriage. Her foot slips, and she falls face-first into the mud.

She looks up in a panic and sees a hand reach out from behind the carriage curtain. In that moment, it is as if an immortal has descended from the heavens.

"Gentlemen, please show mercy."

The immortal takes her to the Ming residence. She is adopted by his mother, given a new name, Ming Yue, and becomes his sworn younger sister.

Day after day, she waits with eager anticipation. Night after night, she longs for him.

At last, she sees her immortal again.

Later, he is still her immortal, but also her brother, and her husband.
