The Song of the Brocade Kite

* A gentle, clever young princess and a decisive young general

* A sweet, satisfying story of mutual redemption

[Synopsis]

Qian Lingyuan was the only daughter of the King of Western Shu. She and the prime minister, Qi Moyan, grew up together and fell deeply in love. But when the emperor of Southern Qi took an interest in her, she was forced to become a sacrifice in the war between the two countries and marry into Southern Qi.

Beautiful women have always been fated to suffer. And who could escape such a fate when born into the royal family?

Qian Lingyuan accepted it!

But on the day before her wedding, a fire broke out in the rear courtyard, and the court of Western Shu was suddenly overthrown. The palace gates were breached, and the government fell...

Swearing she would never become a captive of a fallen kingdom, Qian Lingyuan jumped off a cliff, full of rage and unwillingness.

But she wasn't trying to die. She had already figured out that the river below was calm and clear, making it a perfect escape route.

She just didn't realize that the cave she stumbled into by accident would become the starting point of her romantic entanglement,

and that the owner of the cave, the wild-growing A Cheng, would turn into a devoted protector after one unforgettable glance...

A Yuan: "I want to stay, too. I want to live like an ordinary person, too, but I don't have a household registration. Sob."

A Cheng: "That's all?"

The next day, he presented her with a household registration document in both hands, all to win her smile.

(The magistrate Sang Huai, sporting a bruised face: "You think you're so great? You think you're amazing? You ruined my face as a betrothal gift!")

Later, the county magistrate, a total pushover, was poisoned by a wicked woman, who then framed Qian Lingyuan for the crime.

A Yuan endured the most inhumane interrogation of her life and was tortured into confessing.

Before the execution, A Cheng charged into the county office with a bow and arrow in hand.

"Who dares arrest my wife?!"

[Bonus Scenes]

* Their first meeting

By the Qingyuan River, Qian Lingyuan hurried out of the cave to evade the search party, giving Fu Chengge a glimpse he would never forget.

Fu Chengge (thinking): Did I just see a white fairy flash past?

Qian Lingyuan (sweating buckets): I can tell by his eyes. He didn't read much!

When she returned to the cave not long after, Qian Lingyuan stared blankly at the shelves of books. What?! Who said he didn't read much? Was it you?!

* His identity is revealed

Qi Moyan: "A Yuan, wake up! He's the War God of Southern Qi, Fu Chengge!!!"

A Yuan (rubbing her hands together): "What!!! The legendary War God of Southern Qi, Fu Chengge?!!! I finally get to see him in person!!!!"

Qi Moyan (looking utterly exasperated): ???? Should I make room for you two?

* Together forever

Fu Chengge: "If I married you someday, what would you want as your betrothal gift?"

Qian Lingyuan (with shining eyes): "You!"

[Quick Guide]
