Memory of Chang'an

To preserve the fragile peace between their respective kingdoms, Princess Mingyue is bound in a political marriage to Li Qiang, the ninth prince of the emperor. This union is not born of romance but of necessity, serving as a diplomatic tether meant to prevent conflict and maintain stability across the realm. Thrust into an unfamiliar world, the princess must navigate the rigid customs and expectations of her new station far from home. Gradually, Princess Mingyue begins to adapt to her life in Chang'an, the ancient Chinese capital that now serves as her residence. As she slowly finds her footing within the grand imperial city and adjusts to the rhythms of the royal court, a tentative sense of normalcy appears to take hold. However, this fragile tranquility masks a much darker reality brewing beneath the surface of the palace. Just as the princess seems to settle into her new existence, dangerous conspiracies begin to unfold. Sinister plots hover over both her and the royal family, threatening to shatter the hard-won peace her marriage was meant to secure. In a court where trust is scarce and hidden enemies lurk, Princess Mingyue must confront the treacherous schemes aimed at undermining the very alliance she represents.
