[Little Princess of the Inner Palace x Battle-Hardened General]
I grew up in the depths of the palace, the youngest girl in the imperial family. Staying safe in a place like this certainly isn't easy, but luckily I have an open-minded father and a kind mother! When I said I wanted to be with Tutor Bai, my father agreed without hesitation! Who cares if a powerful military commander might grow too influential and overshadow the throne? That's not how things work in our family!
Wait, you haven't even cleaned up the mess my second and third brothers made yet, and you're already gone, Father!
Fine. I guess this responsibility falls to us now...
Second Brother, you really are the worst...
Third Brother, how could you, too...
Never mind, never mind. Let's just take things one day at a time.
[Even years later, I still remember the moment the palace gates opened. The bamboo leaves caught the first warmth of spring, and the peach branches startled in the chill. His iron cavalry stormed through Yumen Pass, carrying the spring breeze to me. He wrapped me in a fox-fur robe and gently brushed the sweat-dampened hair from my forehead, saying:]
["Little Pomegranate, I'm back."]
A clear horn sounds through the cold, the frail willows wither; even the spring breeze crosses Yumen Pass.
