In the heart of the Xinglong Empire, where courtly politics are as treacherous as the battlefield, Princess Lian has always known her place-on the fringes of royalty, judged by her mother's lowly origins and disregarded as a pawn in the king's grand schemes. Quiet and graceful, she hides  her own secrets, her strength veiled behind the facade of a docile princess. When she is given as a "war prize" to General Wei Jiang, a hardened soldier with a fearsome reputation, her world changes forever.
Wei Jiang has spent his life on the battlefield, his loyalty to the kingdom unshakable but his heart encased in steel. He neither desires nor understands love, believing it a luxury for others. When he is forced into a marriage with the quiet, seemingly fragile princess, he regards her as yet another obligation in his life of duty.
As Lian moves to the general's barracks, a world far removed from the opulence of the palace, she begins to see the man behind the armor-a calm, disciplined leader haunted by the cost of war. And as Wei Jiang observes her courage and quiet resilience, he starts to suspect that there is more to her than meets the eye.
But their budding connection is tested by secrets from both their pasts and plots that could endanger the empire. Wei Jiang must decide if he can trust the woman he was forced to marry, even as his own heart begins to betray him.

In the hidden, enchanted city of Arcadian Veil, Princess Lian Yue is a vision of grace-brilliant in medicine, breathtaking in beauty, and unwavering in her devotion to her people. One fateful night, she crosses the sacred boundary of Arcadian Veil, not out of reckless curiosity, but for reasons she is afraid to face. There, she saves a gravely wounded man by the river, unaware that he is Crown Prince Rui Xian of the Xiang Empire, a man marked for death. Before he can ask her name, she vanishes into the night, but the memory of her lingers. When their paths cross again a year later, Rui Xian is determined not to lose her twice. Bewitched by her presence and intrigued by her sharp wit, he offers her an impossible choice: stay by his side as his future wife, even though he is unaware of her true origins. But Lian Yue has no interest in becoming a prince's possession, not when the past still binds her to a world she cannot leave behind. As betrayals unfold, long-buried secrets rise, and an enemy with ties to her past threatens everything, Lian Yue must decide where her heart truly belongs. In the end, love alone may not be enough to hold them together, but perhaps, the woman who once dedicated herself to duty will find that home is not a kingdom, but the arms of the man who would burn the world for her. Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Power Struggle, Adventure FYI this is my original story so please don't plagiarize, that's a crime. Updates are regular. Maybe everyday or so. This is a "He fell first, falls harder and does everything to make her his own" kind trope. Enjoy!
