“Born into the imperial family, if you cannot wield a blade and seize the throne, you can only wait on the chopping block.”
She is the most honored princess of the Southern Dynasty. Her name is Fuguang, meaning the light of the sun, and she looks down upon all living things.
Then she meets the hostage prince from the Northern Dynasty:
Ji Ruxuan!
A complete and utter madman.
She is a princess of the Southern Kingdom, high above all others. He is a hostage prince from the Northern Dynasty, low as the dirt. Their fates are set: their paths will never cross.
But who could have guessed that, overnight, storms would descend,
and the Northern prince, drenched in blood, would lay a path of flesh and bone before her, kneeling at her feet?
“Your Highness, will you be the empress who shares the realm with me and remains my one and only for life?”
“Or will you rule the world as the supreme empress, with the power of life and death in your hands?”
“If you want neither, then be my wife. I’ll give you my life, and spend the rest of it doing as you wish.”
“You will always be my sun above the clouds, my light from Fusang.”
“And I will always be your humble servant, at your feet.”
The day Ji Ruxuan was sent to the Southern Dynasty as a hostage, he saw a ray of light.
Her name was Jiang Fuguang.
She looked down at him from on high and said, “As the saying goes, a dog relies on its master’s power. You’re a stray dog with no home, so you have no power to rely on!”
Later, he said to her, “Want a dog? A homeless stray who can be sweet or fierce, guard the house, fight, bite, protect its master, warm the bed, and keep its owner happy. Loyal to its master, and never going to betray you.”
Before coming to the Southern Dynasty, Ji Ruxuan told his subordinate, “My first task there is to kill Jiang Fuguang.”
Later, the subordinate saw his lord holding the Southern princess in his arms and kissing her, coaxing her hoarsely: “Be good. Call me Brother Junxuan, and I’ll give you my life.”

It's definitely worth watching, really. One of the few I've paid to see.
Some readers have commented: Is it angst-inducing? I'll watch it if it's not angsty!! 😭
This new book is much better; I personally found the previous one, "My Cousin's Blessing," too drawn out. Also, the male and female leads were too young, which felt awkward. I don't mean anything by it, but I hope the author won't make the age difference too much; 8 or 10 years is too scary. The new story is well-written and doesn't drag. Keep it up, author!
