A Match for Her: The Naughty Princess

She is Qian Shengyi, the Southern Yue kingdom’s most doted-on Seventh Princess. Dressed in a red man’s robe, she spends her days flirting with anyone she can, and she’s a master of eating, drinking, womanizing, and gambling. She likes silver more than banknotes: the clink of coins is music to her ears, and even when she throws them at people, they make a satisfying sound. When it comes to money, she has just three rules: love it, hoard it, and be ruthless about it. She has no taste for being bullied, so anyone who dares to bully her gets slapped into a wall, where they’re stuck for good. In this day and age, shamelessness is the way to win, and being dark-hearted and nasty is the truth. As she puts it, good people die young, while troublemakers live for a thousand years. If you want to live longer, then go ahead and make trouble for everyone else. There are too many flies and the bees are too noisy, so take out one whenever you can, and wipe out a whole swarm if you get the chance. What’s a sly old fox compared to her? She’s a thousand-year-old menace. Try to outdo her, and just wait to get crushed! He is Shang Yihan, the revered God of War of the Eastern Chong kingdom, a proud fourth disciple of Daoist Xuanming, and the master of the Netherworld Pavilion. Cruel and cold-hearted, with blood-red eyes, he strokes his black jade baton and cuts an imposing figure in his purple python robe. He says, “Yier, I’m going to give you happiness. No one can stop me!” He is Mo Shangyu. At court, he is the sickly, neglected prince of the Northern Cheng kingdom. In the martial world, he is the highly skilled leader of the Demon Cult. On the battlefield, he is the mysterious strategist of the barbarian army. No matter which identity he wears, he is her enemy. And the most tragic part is that he falls in love with her. He says, “The ambition of love brings people untold suffering. Does love create the world around us, or do we chase the world and leave love behind? I admit there is no punishment on earth more painful than love.” And then there are him, him, and him... The heroes of the world, a vast realm, and the loves and enmities of the martial world come together in a contest for supremacy. When the strongest join forces, who can stand against them? When equals meet, what kind of spectacle unfolds when such dazzling figures cross paths, and what sparks will fly? On the road to kingship, who will spend a lifetime by whose side, and who will accompany whom to the end? On the road to the horizon, who will pine for whom for a lifetime, and who will be bound to whom forever? Who is it that has the whole realm within reach, yet cannot keep a kindred spirit and beloved woman? And who wishes only to share dreams with their soulmate in this life, beneath the moon and among the flowers? Hands clasped tight, through heaven and hell, even immortals cannot compare with these earthly lovers. Who will laugh at their madness? The journey is wild, but the ending is heartwarming. This is a one-couple story.
