Remembering Jade

A gentle, slow-to-warm daughter of the prime minister x a cold-faced, flirtatious, scheming prince

1.

Though Jiang Liqing was the prime minister's legitimate daughter, she was raised on a country estate from childhood. The court of the Tiansheng dynasty was unstable, with undercurrents swirling beneath the surface. Her parents didn't want her caught up in it. Who could have guessed that one day the empress would host a banquet and specifically request to see her?

The good news: Her family can finally be reunited.

The bad news: She's been given in marriage.

When they first met, Jiang Liqing brought Xiao Yanchen home.

Before returning to the capital, Xiao Yanchen gave her the first jade pendant he had carved himself, but the young girl didn't understand what it meant.

When they met again, she was already the crown prince's betrothed, chosen by the emperor himself.

"You heartless little thing. We were apart for only a few days, and you've already forgotten me." The third prince, usually aloof as a flower on a high peak, teared up in front of the young girl.

"I never had any interest in court politics, but now, perhaps the throne is worth fighting for after all..."

3.

People often said that the third prince was a decorated war hero, cold-faced and impartial. They didn't know how helpless he felt when the young girl's jade-white arms wound around his neck and she kissed the mole on his nose.

"Qing'er, I'll offer you the realm as my bride price. Will you let me be your husband?"
