Princess Yongning grew up outside the palace. She was highborn and renowned throughout Luojing for her beauty, but she despised the city's scheming and planned to settle her mother's affairs before leaving to enjoy her freedom. When she first met Shen Tingguang, she spoke to him calmly for a couple of minutes and thought they were nothing more than passing acquaintances.

Shen Tingguang was the governor of Liangzhou, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops. Yet on the night before a campaign, he still climbed over a wall like an unwelcome visitor, sneaking a peek at the girl he loved and leaving a bunch of her favorite plum blossoms by her courtyard gate.

She never knew that someone was always watching her from behind, silently helping her in secret.

One day, the emperor suddenly betrothed Princess Yongning to a great general.

Everyone thought one of them was unwilling and the other had no affection for the match.

But after many twists and turns, one held the moon in their arms and another joined them in the mortal world, and the two ended up with a happy marriage.

One-on-one, happy ending. A restrained general who takes the initiative only with you x a clever, cool beauty who strikes back at anyone who wrongs her.

Blurb for Embracing Frost and Snow:

In her parents' eyes, the most important thing about Yu Yuan was her marriage.

Everyone but her grandmother saw her as a human jade pendant, a useful connection to the staggering wealth and power of the capital.

At seventeen, Yu Yuan went alone to the capital to find her powerful fiance and break off their engagement.

Her fiance was Ning Wang's heir, Meng Xiping. The moment Yu Yuan saw his face, she fell in love at first sight and lost her head. She took back the engagement jade pendant she'd meant to return to him, and changed the words on the tip of her tongue from breaking off the engagement to getting married.

Overnight, news spread through the capital: the Ning Wang heir's fiancee had traveled thousands of miles to force him into marriage.

The first time Yu Yuan met Meng Xiping, the capital was buried in snow. The Ning Wang heir seemed like a jade statue, so beautiful she could hardly look away.

But after five years of marriage, the capital's frost and snow had melted away. When Pei Sanniang entered the household, Yu Yuan's heart died, too. She finally understood that Meng Xiping wasn't made of jade. He was made of snow, and he could never be warmed.

The jade pendant she'd once taken back from Meng Xiping in a moment of regret slipped from her hand and shattered. Before Yu Yuan died, she never saw the snow again, nor did Meng Xiping come to her.

Reborn, Yu Yuan planned to make a fresh start. While she was still young, she would take her money to the southwest, get her eyes checked for their weakness for handsome men, and stay far from the capital and Meng Xiping.

Just as she was congratulating herself, she ran into Meng Xiping, who had been waiting for her.

The high-and-mighty Ning Wang heir seemed to have suddenly changed.

He got jealous, and even stood up for Yu Yuan when people insulted her.

Only then did Yu Yuan learn that when Meng Xiping killed for her, his sword flashed fiercely and he was as silent as the wind.

This was the Meng Xiping she'd missed in her previous life.

In his previous life, Meng Xiping offended nearly every powerful family in the capital to marry Yu Yuan.

He secretly protected her on her journey to the capital, and helped her become the Princess Consort of Ning. But in the end, he still couldn't protect her, and she was murdered.

Heaven gave him the chance to live again, so he brought Yu Yuan to the capital early.

He would make a grand spectacle of it and announce to the whole world that Yu Yuan was Meng Xiping's one weakness, and his Princess Consort of Ning. Anyone who came near her would die.

Meng Xiping showed Yu Yuan the side of himself that let no gods or Buddhas come near, holding nothing back as he waited for her to give him another chance to get close.

One-on-one; double rebirth; happy ending; both leads' first love.
