A Smile That Captivates the City

Blurb One:

“A smile that conquers a city, as one stands alone amid falling flowers. The most soul-stirring sight: rouge-stained tears, a silent ache that breaks the heart. One glance from a beauty can topple a city; a second can bring down a nation. She could conquer a nation and a city, yet could not escape the cruel fate of a beauty...” In Wangjun Tower, a songstress sings a lingering, heartrending song that leaves listeners sorrowful. It isn’t the song that pains them, but the story behind it.

Li Chengji, one of the main characters in this story, stands silently beneath Wangjun Tower, lost in sorrow. One song, “A Smile That Conquers a City,” toppled a city, but also destroyed everyone’s smiles. The smile that conquered a city seems so close, yet vanishes like a passing cloud.

What he thought he had gained, it turns out, he had lost! But did the person he thought he had lost perhaps find their way back to him?

Blurb Two:

A true confidant is hard to find, especially when he is her one and only male confidant. To honor Prince An’s trust, she throws herself without hesitation into a struggle for imperial power that had nothing to do with her.

Love is a troublesome thing, but how can she face the deposed crown prince, who lost everything because of her father and brother? One is detached by nature, the other bent on revenge. How will they find a way forward?

One smile can topple a city. With just one careless glance from her, Prince Ping rebels against the throne for her sake. How is the gentle, unassuming her supposed to face this madman?
