New novel now available next door: "Autumn Rhapsody"

On Lu Qining's sixteenth birthday, a fortune teller predicted that the following year she would face a calamity, and that only a man with the fated strength to counter it could avert it.

That same day, her imperial uncle, the emperor, betrothed her to the crown prince, Nan Cheng.

Just three days after their wedding, Lu Qining's tutor was murdered in Jiangnan. To put any interested parties at ease, the emperor sent her and the crown prince to Jiangnan under the pretext of a trip. There, they would pay their respects to her tutor as his former students, while secretly investigating the case and finding suitable local officials and merchants.

To appease the public, Lu Qining had no choice but to pretend she and Nan Cheng were a loving couple.

The crown prince, Nan Cheng, had borne the weight of high expectations since childhood, studying and working tirelessly. At eight years old, he fell for a darling little girl with a doll-like face. From then on, she watered the garden of his heart. But for various reasons, he never dared tell her how he felt, until one day he became her husband.

He no longer held back his feelings. He let them all pour out.

One day, while Lu Qining was taking a nap, Nan Cheng wrote a poem called "Autumn Rhapsody" and disturbed her sleep. It went like this:

"Stealing a moment of leisure in a secluded courtyard, the flowers framed by the window, a single beauty blooming like brocade."

"Rising on the wind, a light boat comes to rest. Autumn dances, and golden breezes and jade dew bind the heartstrings to a beloved."

She stared at the words "stealing a moment of leisure," finding them especially grating, and shot back, "I wonder, Your Highness, did you sleep well last night?"

To Lu Qining, Nan Cheng is a hypocrite who puts on a righteous face.

To Nan Cheng, the moon in the highest heavens is not Lu Qining. She is the woman seated high in a tower, her heart untouched by those below. He is determined to climb those steps, one by one, and admire the elegant moon with her.

Theme: Self-reliance and strength.
