Life as a Count in the Empire [Interstellar]

After his death, Jiang Yunkai becomes the Imperial Earl Ni Manyang.

A marriage arrangement brings him into contact with the Federation's Major General, A Peiqin.

He initially thinks they will become the most distant and peaceful housemates.

Even if they can make it work, each of them will have their own principles, and there will be inevitable sacrifices and compromises. But there will never be the bone-deep pain or passionate, overwhelming love that Jiang Yunkai once thought impossible.

But a conspiracy entangles their futures, and their hearts gradually draw closer.

Before they kiss on that uninhabited planet of flowers and sea fireflies, who will be the first to fall in love? When they reunite after crossing mountains and seas, who can say who first felt the other's pain?

Their life together is a steady stream, yet just as fiery and unforgettable.

"That day, you gave me a falling star. I couldn't express how I felt at the time..."

"So now, I'll give you a sea that flows backward."

"Wasn't that rose for me?"

"Then you got it wrong. That wasn't for you." Ni Manyang leaned close to A Peiqin's ear and whispered, "This is the 'rose' I'm going to use to ensnare you."
