Breaking Your Bones

Helan Zhao, the sixth prince of the Kingdom of Helan, was constantly suspected because of his mother consort's origins and the red spider lily mark between his brows. His mother was cruelly persecuted, and he himself was left disabled. For the sake of peace between the two kingdoms, he was sent to the Kingdom of Shuojin as a hostage prince. There, he met Si Chong'an, a prince of Shuojin. One lived in a foreign land, burdened with pain; the other concealed his thoughts, caught in a web of political intrigue. From their first tentative probing and drawing closer, to gradually giving each other their true hearts, they walked side by side through perilous palace intrigues. When love and power intertwine, and the truth gradually surfaces, can they break the shackles of fate, protect each other, and reclaim the future that belongs to them? A fate that began with a meeting in a foreign land, a mutual journey toward each other that grows ever firmer amid power plays and deep affection.
