The Proud Lady

“Osmanthus blossoms bloom along the Shanyin Road; the elegance of the Wang and Xie families fills the histories of Jin.”

In an age when the mysterious was in vogue, appearances were graceful yet social rank rigid, political factions fought for power, and people were as ruthless as wolves, she rose from humble beginnings. Her exceptional intelligence drew her, little by little, into the bloody chaos of the Upheaval of the Eight Princes, where she witnessed one legendary tale after another from the elegant and brilliant Jin dynasty.

He was the legitimate son of the Xie clan of Chen Commandery. A single mistaken thought in his previous life had brought him a lifetime of regret. Reborn, he planned every step, all to keep her safe for the rest of her life.

In this chaotic age, what kind of legend would the two of them create together?

“My dearest, would you create a powerful and prosperous family with me amid this troubled age?”

(This is a story about a cool, bewitching young lady and an alluring, dashing young gentleman. It is also a tale of the refined and brilliant literati of the Eastern and Western Jin, told through the male and female leads, and a story set before the rise of the Xie clan of Chen Commandery.)
