Xiziqing

Crown Prince Yun Chi chose as his consort the youngest daughter of the Hua Family, Hua Yan, and the news shattered the hearts of countless ladies in the Capital City.
It was said: the Crown Prince could write poetry at three, compose essays at seven, debate with the greatest scholars at ten, shoot arrows with precision at twelve, oversee the examinations of all scholars at fifteen, and was regent by the time he was sixteen. He reached the pinnacle in letters, the extreme in martial arts, his looks were world-shaking, and his presence unrivaled.
Hua Yan felt as though a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky, landing squarely on her head.
From then on, was she to compete with the entire world for this man?
--------------------
Yun Chi: Standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Clouds, he learned the art of balance, practiced the strategies of an emperor, envisioned the land and skies in his heart. Within the nine-layered royal palace, he could turn his hands to clouds and his palms to rain, holding sway over the court and the nation, trimming himself into a figure free from desire and henceforth unyielding.
Hua Yan: She viewed herself as beneath the dust, with all her emotions and desires, disliking the Son of Heaven's court, preferring the ordinary alleys, treading on ten feet of soft red and experiencing all facets of life. She believed that nothing was better than green mountains and clear waters. "If you promise me a lifetime, I will accompany you for an eternity."

Schemes Of A Flower

After resting for a while, Mei Shuyu regained some energy. Without any delay, she left the Eastern Palace with a hundred thousand troops and headed towards Banbi Mountain to conduct a search. Starting from the base of Banbi Mountain, they combed through the terrain, with a soldier stationed every three steps, not sparing a single patch of land.


The heavy snow continued to fall nonstop, threatening to bring another blizzard to the Capital City.


In a blink, two days had passed, and the area inside and outside the Capital City was thoroughly searched, but Hua Yan knew nothing of this as she had been unconscious for two days.


That day, as she began to regain consciousness, she didn't immediately open her eyes, but she was aware of her surroundings. It was very cold, as if she was in an icehouse. There was someone near her, their presence seemingly blending with the coldness.


She sensed that the person and their energy were both unfamiliar and familiar.
