The Bright Moon Falls Into Your Arms

My new book, My Wife Is Still Young, is introduced at the end. Please add it to your favorites!!!

Wei Fengqing is a noblewoman from a powerful family. Her aunt is the Empress Dowager, her cousin is the emperor, her father holds the highest ministerial office, and her mother is the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic clan. By all appearances, she should enjoy a life of endless wealth and privilege.

Unfortunately, the unexpected happens: the dynasty falls, and the once-powerful aristocratic families become lambs awaiting slaughter by the soldiers. To preserve her family's power and lives, the pampered young lady has no choice but to marry a peasant who once fought dogs for food...

That man has walked through fire and sword. He's crude and ill-mannered, and he's already rather old, nothing like the noble young gentlemen of Chang'an. Fengqing dislikes him, but has no choice but to marry for her family's sake.

On her wedding night, Fengqing thinks, I'll just pretend a vicious dog bit me!

Unexpectedly, the man blushes even before she does. She decides that maybe the old fellow isn't so bad after all...

After they marry, he remembers all her preferences and clumsily tries to please her. As time passes, she notices something strange: is he secretly studying poetry and literature?

He kisses her hair and says, "May I be the collar on your robe, carrying the lingering fragrance of your fair head."

He also holds her and begs, "I'll do my best to become the person you like. I'll do as you wish and follow your every command. Could you be kind to me too?"

He's not a vicious dog at all. He's clearly a little lapdog who's hidden his fangs and claws and only knows how to wag his tail...

Later, the young emperor ascends the throne, the court and people flee south, and the dynasty teeters on the brink. The court is a labyrinth of intrigue, rife with bloodshed.

A powerful common-born minister who rises abruptly vies for power with the nobles of an old aristocratic clan. Time and again, in the battles of the imperial court, Yue Xiu turns the tide and protects her and her family.

His devotion to his country and people finally makes her set aside her prejudices, and little by little, she begins to feel something for him...

In short, it's the story of a peasant who rises to prominence after meeting a patron in a turbulent age, then wins the heart of a young lady from a great aristocratic family. The leads are naturally on opposing sides, so there may be a little angst along the way, but overall, it's a doting romance.

---------------New Book Blurb---------------

Li Fengchi was a famous child prodigy in Yangzhou from a young age. He passed the imperial examination at twelve, and at seventeen became the first top scorer in all three examinations since the founding of the dynasty. Not long after turning twenty, he married Meng Qinghe, daughter of the current Minister of Personnel. By thirty, he had become the youngest chancellor in the dynasty's history.

Everyone in the capital speaks of Chancellor Li with admiration. If there's one flaw in his otherwise perfect life, it's that Madam Meng died young, leaving Chancellor Li a widower.

His colleagues fret endlessly over his marital affairs. Today, the daughter of the Zhou family brings him food; tomorrow, the niece of the Wang family brings him clothes. An elderly minister with white hair even comes to share the secret of "a pear blossom pressing down on a crabapple." Li Fengchi finds it all tiresome and absurd.

Yet only a few days later, someone sees Chancellor Li dragging a young woman through the door. Neither of them comes out again! The whole capital is in an uproar. Could this... really be Chancellor Li?

Qinghe thinks no one in the world has had worse luck than her. She waited and waited for the college entrance exams to be over so she could finally let loose, but a car accident left her in the hospital for two years!

Just as she finally wakes up and is discharged, she falls asleep and somehow wakes up in a desolate wilderness, with graves everywhere!

Before she can recover from the shock, a superstitious woman grabs her hand and insists she's her daughter, risen from the dead!

Qinghe is stunned. She can only ask the man beside her for help, but he too says she's the woman's daughter, and his lawfully wedded wife! Even more shocking, the man is the renowned chancellor whose name she had just highlighted in her history textbook!

Qinghe's vision goes dark. They're crazy... all of them...
