Plot:
In her previous life, Fang Ruyi, the only daughter of a general guarding the border, obeyed the emperor's order and her father's command and married Prince Liang, Yuan Shi. But He Ling, a wealthy merchant's daughter who wanted to become Princess Liang, secretly poisoned her.
She thought Yuan Shi knew nothing about it, only to discover that he and He Ling had been lovers for a long time.
When she refused to rebel, Yuan Shi continued ordering He Ling to poison her, keeping her alive in a state of lingering misery. Her once-famous beauty, celebrated throughout the capital, withered away.
After Yuan Shi ascended the throne, he framed her entire family for colluding with the enemy, causing her father and brothers, far away on the border, to die when the enemy army breached the city.
Reborn, she is once again a sheltered young woman about to receive an arranged marriage.
In this life, she swears to take revenge, settle accounts with everyone who destroyed her family, and protect her father and brothers before Yuan Shi can make his move.
She stays in the capital, using schemes to lay the groundwork for open strategies, and open strategies to shape the bigger picture. She does it all so that, if a storm ever approaches, she can be there for her family.
The Romance:
Having lived another life, Fang Ruyi knows that her marriage must be part of a calculated plan.
She needs the backing of a powerful, prestigious family to stand a chance against Prince Liang.
When she first meets Jiang Yuchen, she thinks he's just the son of a wealthy family in the capital. No matter how much affection she feels, she keeps it all to herself.
Later, she learns that he is a noble imperial uncle. Torn between liking him and using him, she can't make up her mind.
Then Jiang Yuchen tells her outright, "I hate the He family too, and I can't stand that hypocritical Prince Liang. I heard you were breaking off your engagement to Prince Liang, so I figured we were kindred spirits and came to see the fun."
Only then does she realize that he sees her as a friend, and nothing more.
Once she puts her feelings away, she finds it much easier to be around him when they meet again.
But one day, Jiang Yuchen confronts her with a dark expression. "I heard my grand-nephew has taken a liking to you. The He family hasn't fallen yet. How can you be giving in to romance?"
She replies helplessly, "Your grand-nephew is the one who keeps bothering me..."
"How about we pretend to be engaged and put an end to his advances?"
#He never believed in fate's arrangements. He only knew that love had to be fought for.#
1. Both leads are each other's first and only love. Happy ending.
2. The plot is serious, but the writing is lighthearted. The romance and plot each get equal attention.
[Upcoming novel: Don't Ferry Me, a princess plagued by rumors and an ascetic, chaste Imperial Preceptor. The blurb is from the male lead's perspective, while the novel itself is told from the heroine's.]
#May I ferry her out of suffering. May I enter the mortal world for her.#
At twenty-three, He Wei became the Imperial Preceptor of the Da Ye dynasty.
Though he stood above all others, he had to abstain from worldly pleasures and live a life of celibacy.
He thought he would spend the rest of his life by a lamp, reading Buddhist texts, and meet a quiet end. He never expected someone to enter his heart.
Chaoyan was the only princess of Da Ye, but from childhood, she was said to carry an evil aura that would one day bring disaster upon the realm.
She had no choice but to grow up alone in the outskirts of the capital. At sixteen, people discovered that her residence was full of male retainers, and she was branded as debauched.
At the Lantern Festival under the full moon, she again paraded through the streets in thin clothes, drawing endless criticism from the court officials and commoners.
As the Imperial Preceptor, He Wei naturally had a duty to guide anyone whose heart had lost its way.
He volunteered to recite Buddhist teachings to Chaoyan and took her to see mountains and seas and cross rivers, hoping that the vast realm and the hardships of its people would awaken a spark of compassion befitting a princess.
But after returning to the palace, he saw her pinned to the ground by her maids, who held her by the wrists and drained an entire bowl of blood from her.
Chaoyan's lips were pale as paper. With a bitter smile, she raised a hand toward him. "You thought I gave myself that reputation for debauchery?"
Only then did he realize the previous Imperial Preceptor had laid a deadly trap for her. He wanted to risk his life to save her, but she said:
"Imperial Preceptor, don't ferry me."
#I stand above ten thousand people, yet I would gladly bow to you.#
1. Both leads are each other's first and only love. One-on-one romance, happy ending.
2. The heroine has her reasons.
3. The story takes place in a dynasty on the brink of collapse. The sweeping tides of history crush the characters' fates, lending the story a sense of desolation. The romance is not angsty, though the heroine has a tragic background and the hero dotes on her.
Theme: Refuse to endure without limits.
