May You Be Blessed with Every Fortune, Young Master

. Song Chiyuan, heir to the Zhounan Prince's Residence: gentle as jade, cold and radiant as ice, a flower atop a lofty peak, beyond anyone's reach! And yet, aloof types have always had a soft spot for goofballs. She nearly became the prince's second wife, once joked that she played a winning hand beautifully, and, in her spare time, could casually listen in on state secrets. When there was nothing else to do, she'd take the young prince out to stage a fake kidnapping: one would sell his looks, the other flowers by the roadside. A perfectly circular scheme, with money coming in and none going out. Someone saw them and remarked, “Two foolish idiots.” Then, as strife erupts throughout the prosperous dynasty, as beauty brings calamity and plots shake the realm, there are ambitions and love and hate, old family secrets, and everyone scheming against everyone else. There is the refusal to be the butcher's knife while others are the meat, and the resolve to rewrite the story of the world with one's own hands. As winds rise and clouds gather, and all things change; as splendor fades and precious jade shatters, when everyone else becomes wild sand against the tide, she alone will risk everything and press on. And will he remain a boy forever? *
