Love at Dusk: Nine Heavens of the Imperial Palace

They say she is a valiant warrior, beloved by her soldiers and feared by the enemy. They say she slaughtered fifty thousand surrendered troops, her methods so ruthless they could silence a crying child. They say she could make an army vanish with a bewitching smile...

She is to marry the most outstanding man in Da Rui, and help her childhood sweetheart, the crown prince, ascend the throne.

But when she turns back, where has the little girl come from, gazing at her with adoration and repeatedly calling her "Mother"? And when did she acquire a "husband," who keeps accusing her of betrayal? Amid the faint fragrance and sparse shadows, who has forgotten whom?

The road ahead ends at a sheer cliff. There is nowhere left to go. I make this vow with you: we will not set a date to return, but a date to die. If one day every plum blossom from north to south of the Yangtze has fallen, that will be the day my life ends. Otherwise, wait for me.
