Chasing the Moon

My writing isn't good enough. I'll write more later.

The second time Shen Zhuyue saw Princess Yongning was in a gloomy, damp dungeon.

She was in a miserable state, covered in wounds, like a drowned dog.

The princess sat beneath the only shaft of light, illuminating both the dark, damp dungeon and Shen Zhuyue's life.

Her fingers were as white as jade, her eyes as bright as the brightest pearl atop the imperial capital, and a faint fragrance seemed to linger just within reach with every breath.

She looked down at Shen Zhuyue, like a noble goddess. "Do you want revenge?"

Shen Zhuyue became Princess Yongning's most loyal blade.

But Yongning didn't know that revenge wasn't all she wanted.

She knew where Yongning's eyes turned, and she knew how many silent nights she had tossed and turned without sleep, trying to suppress her own shameful desires.

She went to great lengths to scheme and plan everything, until one day she finally stood at Yongning's side.

That night, Yongning's soft black hair wound around her fingers. Shen Zhuyue asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "You're so clever. Don't you want to try sitting on that throne yourself?"
