The Bandit Chief’s Beloved Wife

She had been bound since childhood by a promise that she would marry the boy chosen for her before birth. Yet, by chance, her heart fell for someone else. But marriage must follow the wishes of one’s parents and the matchmaker’s arrangements, an eternal law of nature that cannot be changed. How could someone as insignificant as her hope to break free of fate’s shackles? Her journey to her wedding was beset by one complication after another, and the bandits blocking her way had been hired by her future husband. Nothing is more heartbreaking than a heart turned to ash, yet who could have guessed that life in the bandits’ stronghold would be full of unexpected delights? When two hearts collide, sparks of love fly. But fate is cruel. In this war-torn age, a chasm harder to cross than any mountain stands between them. Prejudice, family feuds, raging wars, love and hatred. In those bright, smiling eyes, does that unwavering promise still remain? After so many spring dreams recorded in the annals of history, will she live to see the dawn of spring? Though longing stretches across distant cities, she still believes that when the snow melts, spring will come.
