Nine Miles of Starry River

The world-renowned Prince Gusu’s manor was massacred overnight, its grounds running with blood. Fu Jiuli was rescued by her aunt, and the two relied on each other in a valley no one had ever found. Who would have thought she’d find a sickly, possessive young beauty and end up climbing into his bed? Jiuli devoted herself to caring for him, only to wake up one morning and find him gone without a trace. Six years later, Jiuli made a spectacular debut dressed as a man, only to run into the heartless boy, now a grown young man, and fall right back into his tender embrace. One is the ambitious heir to the powerful Prince of Cheng'an. The other is a delicate little guard with skin like ice and a voice like a girl's. Onlookers in the capital: Why are these two always together? Could something be going on between them...? Fu Jiuli: Something going on? We’re openly in love!
