The Fragrance of Serenity

The second prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Yuan NingAn, was an idle prince who had only a title but no real power. As a prince born to a lowly palace maid, he had no qualifications to take part in the fight for the throne. Later, the Emperor issued a marriage edict between him and the concubine daughter of General Yi, Yi Fen. Considering the military power in the hands of the general, he gladly accepted. Yi Fen, the concubine-born daughter of General Yi, fell in love at first sight with the aloof second prince, Yuan NingAn. But as a child born to a concubine, she knew that she shouldn't desire what wasn't meant for her. Therefore, the moment she received the imperial edict granting a marriage between herself and the second prince, she almost couldn't contain the happiness inside her heart. For him, this marriage was an exchange between two interests. He didn't want any emotional involvement in it. For her, this marriage was her lifelong dream. He was her love and also her life. "Husband and wife for a day, stay together for a lifetime."  __________ She saw his figure standing on top of the defensive wall of Licheng city. After three years of marriage, every day was like living in a nightmare. She no longer dared to hope to win his heart. She watched him as he drew his bow, his hand never once shaking. And as the arrow finally penetrated her heart, she knew that she could finally be free. ___________ Yi Fen, who should have died from an arrow piercing her heart, suddenly realized that she was given a second chance! Going back one year before the marriage edict was given, she vowed that in this second life, she would never again fall in love with Yuan NingAn. But what actually happened to the second prince? Who was this man who followed her every day, wherever she went? Why was everything so different from what happened in her previous life? Yuan NingAn : “Fen'er, whatever you desire, I will give it all to you. Including my heart.”  Yi Fen : "..." ______________________________________________ World setting : FICTIONAL but heavily influenced by Chinese culture. Cover Illustration : Google Image.
