Spring Light in My Eyes

[The full version is complete. The rest of the story has been posted as an outline, so you can head over to Weibo to read it. I’ll do my best to finish this book while I’m still alive, so I don’t leave an unfinished story on my profile.] When the imperial palace fell, Chang Yi knew she was destined to die. The one who had seized the throne was none other than the lowliest illegitimate son of the marquis’s household. The very man she had publicly humiliated. - Word was that the new emperor hated Princess Yong’an so much that every time he visited the Cold Palace, he left her needing one medicine dose after another. A palace servant accidentally glimpsed a pale arm reaching out from behind the bed curtains, covered in red marks. When the story spread, the servants all sighed in sympathy. Who could have imagined that the once supremely noble princess would now be living a fate worse than death? One night, the new emperor arrived drunk. The maid serving the princess was so worried for her safety that, when closing the door, she deliberately left a narrow crack, in case the emperor lost control in his drunkenness and did something cruel to the princess. She waited outside in terror, only to see through the crack as the new emperor cradled the princess’s face and kissed her tenderly, as if she were some priceless treasure. - Shao Qin thought he had gone mad himself. Even if she humiliated him, even if he had to resort to any means, even if it made her hate him, he would keep her by his side. Every night, he had to kiss her face to make sure this wasn’t a dream. Back then, the lofty Princess Yong’an had visited the marquis’s estate to admire the pear blossoms. The glimpse of spring he had stolen from a shadowy corner had finally, many years later, become his to hold and cherish. *A story of possessive love Theme: What you can never forget will eventually find an echo
