She sighs and looks outside again
The sky looks so bleak

Beneath The Crimson Veil || A Chinese Historical Romance
In the heart of the Xinglong Empire, where courtly politics are as treacherous as the battlefield, Princess Lian has always known her place-on the fringes of royalty, judged by her mother's lowly origins and disregarded as a pawn in the king's grand schemes. Quiet and graceful, she hides her own secrets, her strength veiled behind the facade of a docile princess. When she is given as a "war prize" to General Wei Jiang, a hardened soldier with a fearsome reputation, her world changes forever. Wei Jiang has spent his life on the battlefield, his loyalty to the kingdom unshakable but his heart encased in steel. He neither desires nor understands love, believing it a luxury for others. When he is forced into a marriage with the quiet, seemingly fragile princess, he regards her as yet another obligation in his life of duty. As Lian moves to the general's barracks, a world far removed from the opulence of the palace, she begins to see the man behind the armor-a calm, disciplined leader haunted by the cost of war. And as Wei Jiang observes her courage and quiet resilience, he starts to suspect that there is more to her than meets the eye. But their budding connection is tested by secrets from both their pasts and plots that could endanger the empire. Wei Jiang must decide if he can trust the woman he was forced to marry, even as his own heart begins to betray him.
