In the eighteenth year of the Zhenqing era, Rao Ranran died on her wedding day.
As the eldest princess of Yan, she was born to a noble station. But because she fell in love with Jing Yu, a general of an enemy state, not only was her sincere affection trampled on, she also met her end as her country fell.
Reborn, Rao Ranran wants only for her family to be safe and her country to prosper. To avoid Jing Yu, she agrees to marry the Second Prince of Yue. What she never expected was that this prince was the little beggar she'd accidentally saved years ago.
Rumor has it that the Second Prince is volatile and ruthless. Though he spent decades wandering among the common people, he still holds the power of Yue's throne in his hands.
Rao Ranran only hopes they can go their separate ways, and that she can peacefully live out the rest of her life.
But the man turns out to be nothing like the rumors say. Instead, he finds new ways every day to shower her with affection.
Overwhelmed by his favor, Rao Ranran assumes he's only repaying her kindness. So she generously offers to help him marry the woman he loves.
At those words, the usually even-tempered Second Prince loses his temper. He corners her against the wall, his warm breath brushing her ear.
“My beloved is you. I want no one but you.”
#The tyrant is still the same tyrant, but all his tenderness is yours alone#
*When the mountains and rivers lie silent, having you is enough.*
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads are devoted only to each other.
2. [A poised, clever princess who never drops the ball VS a devoted, cunning prince wielding overwhelming power]
Actually, I think this book by the author is quite good. The characters are quite distinct, especially the descriptions, making it easy to imagine what Ranran looks like, and also the roguish yet handsome Second Prince.
