Features: Mingde gazes at the girl in a green-and-white peony cheongsam with admiration. Her eyelashes flutter gently, like the wings of a beautiful black moth. Below the eyelashes, the deep-well-like eyes boldly meet the emperor's gaze. The emperor seems to have noticed nothing as the audience hall is enveloped in an unusually silent atmosphere, so quiet that the soft footsteps of Jinfeng and her conversation with the emperor can be heard by everyone. The beautiful queen, deeply cherished by the young emperor, is on the brink of life and death amidst the heavy pressure of the worldly custom of "retribution for rebellion." A Wu Xiao, sent as a spy to the side of the Yue King, falls deeply in love with him. Between patriotic duty and lingering affection, she finds herself torn between her choices. This book contains nine beautiful and moving love stories: Caiyu, who does not desire wealth; Jinzhu, who dislikes the dissolute; Xue Shanshu, whose fate is legendary; Xiang Yun, whose story is equally captivating; and Yinyi, whose life is as enchanting as her name. Each character is vividly portrayed, and their legendary experiences are even more fascinating.
