When I was fifteen, my royal father chose me from among his many daughters.
I was Xizhou’s brightest pearl, yet he sent me by carriage across the Gobi, the desert, and the grasslands.
I was to travel to the distant Central Plains and marry their Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince had his moonlight and his childhood sweetheart.
But the bright moon must sink, and green plums must ripen.
In the end, only the pearl’s light endures.
