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

Four hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu's troops surrounded the city, and the last Emperor Huaiyu of Later Liang took poisoned wine to his death, marking the end of Later Liang. The royal jade seal of Later Liang was buried with him as well.


Twenty years ago, Marquis of Wuwei used the royal jade seal of Later Liang as a bargaining chip to save the life of the second young lady of the Mei Residence. The King of Nanjiang, valuing the seal, agreed to Marquis of Wuwei's request. Although the King of Nanjiang was a weak and ineffective ruler, he was not a fool; the royal jade seal of Later Liang must indeed have been genuine.


Twenty years ago, the royal jade seal of Later Liang had already become useless for Nanchu, which had seen several dynastic changes over the centuries. However, the underlying value it represented when Marquis of Wuwei produced it to negotiate with the King of Nanjiang was worth more than any treasure.
