Giving Everything for a Golden Age

The second young lady of the Yu family was about to return to the capital. They said she was clever and quick-witted, refined and talented, and skilled in poetry, music, and the arts. She was the capital’s foremost talented woman. Jiang Cheng figured he could marry her on a whim. But he never expected Yu Hua to be the complete opposite. Jiang Cheng just wanted to ask if he could return her. They said the young master of the Jiang family had been a spoiled playboy since childhood. He wouldn’t take the imperial examinations or serve as an official, and spent his nights chasing women, with not a shred of decency. Yu Hua thought it had to be nothing but rumors. But the longer she knew him, the more she realized it was all true. She could only regret in secret that she’d been blind, and that she should never have married him, even if it killed her. Yet as time went by, Yu Hua discovered that making it in the capital was no easy feat. Battles of the heart, battles for power, battles in the jianghu, and bloody clashes on the battlefield were happening at every turn. An age of chaos, a foolish emperor, treacherous ministers, and a flourishing age on the verge of collapse. Behold a woman whose brilliance outshines all!
