The Red Flower Of The Palace

The original title of this book is "The Lonely Palace Flower Red," which serves as a prequel to the classic novel "Palace Strategy" by the popular author You Sijie

She is a princess of a fallen dynasty, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens for eight or nine years after her country was destroyed and her family perished. She has withstood the bitter cold of the heavens and the earth, yet she finds it difficult to overcome the obstacle of love

He is the new emperor who has destroyed her nation, having directed the course of the country for decades, commanding an army of a million, yet he has not a single person who truly understands and accompanies him

Both slavery and emperorship are marked by pride yet accompanied by solitude. However, it is often said that fate is determined across three lifetimes, suggesting a connection from past to future lives. It seems impossible for two individuals, who are so different, to be entwined in love and hate, caught in an inextricable bond. Yearning for what cannot be attained, unable to let go. The two of them, like wild beasts, tear at each other, inflicting wounds upon one another, yet they cannot alter their destiny. Ultimately, in the face of a kingdom and beauty, letting go is the best way to live.
