Drunk on Zhen, Yet Captivated by Daiyu

She, cool and aloof as the moon.

He, cold and proud.

She is descended from the imperial line of the former dynasty.

He is a noble prince of the reigning dynasty.

For her, he ultimately spills blood in the imperial palace and kills his own brothers.

For him, she disguises herself and reclaims the secret edict.

For her, he can seize the empire or give it up.

For him, she can endure a life of hardship, wandering through the mortal world.

A chance meeting, decades spent together. They need few words; all they need is the warmth in a glance shared between them.

Excerpts:

At the Proudly Peerless Palace:

“Why have you done so much for me?” Confusion filled her cool eyes.

“Figure it out for yourself.” His expression remained cold.

At Prince Yong’s Manor:

“You never seem to doubt my decisions.” A trace of gentleness flickered in his eyes.

“Figure it out for yourself.” The same gentle smile touched her lips.

Before the Forbidden City:

“Why must you choose to leave?” Their son made no effort to hide his displeasure.

The two exchanged a smile. “Figure it out for yourself.”

This is a serious historical romance, and also a Dream of the Red Chamber story. If you like lightweight, fluffy stories, please don’t come looking for faults.
