Upcoming historical romance: Lord Heng

A scatterbrained, rebellious escort guard x a scheming, seemingly innocent prince

"Heng is like the waxing moon, like the rising sun."

"A lord should be like the moon, enduring and constant."

But Xi Heng is stubborn to the core and was never meant to stay in line.

Wealth and comfort cannot tempt her. A luxurious boudoir cannot confine her heart. Yet the palace powers keep trying to force a marriage on her.

At an age when she did not even know how to spell "rebellion," Xi Heng made the most defiant choice of all.

She fled the capital alone, changed her name, and became a drifting wanderer among the rivers, lakes, and seas.

When Jiang Ping met Xi Heng again, he cast a divination for himself.

"Heng: success, no blame, favorable to perseverance, favorable to undertaking a journey."

The noblewoman who had rescued him from the lotus-scented waters of Xianchi, then left home after their betrothal, taught Jiang Ping what it meant to lose control.

Knowing he should not, he did it anyway. Knowing he should not go, he still sought her out.

Jiang Ping knew he ought to let go.

But he didn't want to.

He could live without his life, but not without Xi Heng.
