The Beauty Of The Wild Grass

The original title of this book was "Cao Mang", which was changed to "Cao Mang Hong Yan" upon publication

Upon their first meeting, Huo Chen was a prince in disguise, pursued by enemies and in a state of utter despair, while Han Guang was the daughter of a mountain bandit, youthful and beautiful. After enduring numerous dangers, she helped him achieve his imperial ambitions, and he developed feelings for her. Han Guang, by nature, cherished freedom; although she had feelings for Huo Chen, she was unwilling to be trapped in the confines of the harem. He devised a plan to keep her by his side, promising her a lifetime of affection. Unfortunately, the love of an emperor is often cold and indifferent. In order to secure his reign, he cast her into the cold palace, leading to her family's ruin and her own suffering. A bloody and treacherous court massacre ultimately resulted in their tragic separation. It turned out that when faced with the choice between the throne and a beauty, he would always choose the throne.

Having experienced life and death as well as betrayal, she thought she had long lost all hope. However, two years later, their reunion in a different place stirred her emotions once again. Is this fateful encounter a matter of destiny or an unavoidable calamity?
