A fanfiction for The Lonely City and Serenade of Peaceful Joy, written just for fun.
The original novel describes Cao Ping: "Years passed since they parted, yet he was still the young nobleman of their memories, his fine horse kicking up dust as he rode, one hand hidden in his fragrant sleeve, holding the whip. The princess stood silently, watching him leave, watching his sleeves flutter along the road home as they vanished into the evening haze."
