Everlasting Splendor

All three kingdoms know that the Sheng Emperor dotes most on his Fifth Princess and has granted her the title of Princess Changsheng. But no one knows what the title truly means: it is not the princess who will enjoy a long life, but the Sheng Kingdom. From a young age, she knew that in an age of absolute rule, she would need power to live as she pleased. She willingly became Sheng's secret blade, earning her father's trust and taking control of the royal family's hidden pieces. She refused to be like the other princesses, enjoying the empty prestige of royalty while sacrificing a lifetime of freedom, happiness, or even her life for the dynasty. She would take her fate into her own hands. To challenge fate and claim her rights, she needed power and influence. He is the crown prince of the mightiest of the three kingdoms, a once-in-a-generation genius praised by all. In literature and martial arts, intelligence, foresight, and strategy, no one can match him. They test each other and clash time and again, with neither side always winning. As two formidable rivals battle to prove who is stronger, they discover that they have already become the most important people in each other's lives. Both are equally proud and noble, matched in cunning, skill, strategy, and political savvy. They begin as opponents, but ultimately come together. This is a contest between two powerful people.
