Foreword

The cast:
Yan An (Pentagon) as Prince, later King Yan An 
Mark Tuan (Got7) as King Mark (also mentioned as Tuan Yien)
Cheng Xiao (WJSN) as the female lead

feat. other Chinese idols' cameos

Setting: historical au, royal au

Genre: romance, angst

Warnings:  violence, blood, minor character deaths, implied mature themes

Chapter count: four (around 14.5k words)

Notes: takes place in China, during the sixteen kingdoms’ times but has nothing to do with the actual history. it’s basically scenes following each other with time gaps between them because i imagine this whole thing as a historical kdrama, #sorrynotsorry. Also, long live Chinese/Taiwainese idols, they deserve more love.

Inspired by: “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown” - Henry IV by William Shakespeare

I hope you love it, my dearest restless_maknae! ♥

Chapter 4: Darling,
This story was epic. The characters, the plot, everything me in and I simply couldn't stop reading. I cheered for the lost princess and the young king of Yan dynasty so much I almost fainted when the girl got that arrow near to her heart. Well, to be totally honest, I'm not sure what should I say beside that I loved it. It's so clear that it's a masterpiece. I liked that Xiao was a strong female character and also she was so weak when it came to love. She fell so easily. ^^
Also, my mouth opened wide at dismay when she told Yan An her true story. I knew that the scar on her skin is a proof of her origin but the fact that not only his brother but she knew it as well. Damn! I thought that they met accidentally in the past and then Mark came to realization but this! It was epic! You're so amazing, dear <3
Have a nice day xx
