Crossing Cangshan

● A noblewoman x a great general | Reborn / Sweet romance / Secret crush becomes mutual / Righting past regrets

Song Qingyi was an unfavored concubine-born daughter in her household, but she had a remarkably striking face. Barely fifteen, she was forcibly taken by Crown Prince Bu Zhao and made his concubine.

Life in the Eastern Palace was unbearable. Song Qingyi was gloomy day after day, until she received a letter.

Every line was full of concern, but it was signed by the great general Meng Jiu'an, a man she had never had any dealings with.

*

Meng Jiu'an was tall and handsome. Though still young, he defended his country and fought across the land.

Every so often, she would receive a letter from Meng Jiu'an.

Then Bu Zhao discovered the letters and burned them to ashes. Song Qingyi was beaten until she coughed blood, and from then on, her health was ruined.

After that, punishment became part of her daily life. No one in the vast Eastern Palace would protect her.

Under the scorching sun, Song Qingyi knelt outside her room for three days. Then she heard that Meng Jiu'an had stormed the palace for her and had been executed on the spot on charges of rebellion.

She vomited blood and fainted dead away.

*

When she opened her eyes again, Song Qingyi had returned to two days before her fifteenth birthday. The first thing she did was secretly flee the city and intercept Meng Jiu'an on his way back from his southern inspection tour.

This time, I'll be the one to save you.

A little skit

Meng Jiu'an: How is the woman who was taken from me?

Subordinate: She's not doing well.

Meng Jiu'an: (heartbroken) (sends a letter to comfort her)

Some time later, Meng Jiu'an asked again: How is the woman who was taken from me?

Subordinate: She's being punished and tormented every day.

Meng Jiu'an (at the end of his rope): Come with me! We're storming the Eastern Palace to save her!

Theme: Unwavering determination.
