Description
On their wedding night, she gnashed her teeth, yelling, “Your Highness, that’s shameless!” Set off by the flickering light of red candles, he curved the corner of his mouth into a wicked grin, “Actually, I can be more shameless…” … When they met for the first time, he was the young prince who lived in his day of brilliance, while she was the pampered princess of the adjacent state. When they met again, he became the crippled underdog suffering from frustration, while she became the lackluster hostage stranded in an alien land. In his mid-life, he was defeated in the fight and had his legs broken; his wife passed away and he didn’t have anything left except his father’s detestation… After constant blows took the edge off his spirit, all he wanted was nothing but serenity. In her teen-age, her state perished and her home lost; she lapsed into an awkward situation after being abandoned and having her marriage annulled… As endless hardships isolated her from happiness, everything she wished for was no more than peace. … “Lu Zhishan, when I first met you, I didn’t think I’d marry you…too old,” after years passed by, one day, she lay on his laps mumbling, with a kind of hazy beauty on her boozy face, “and lame.” “Mu Nanzhi, you have the wrong memory. At our first meeting, I’m neither old nor limp.” “…When was that?” “When people were celebrating your first birthday,” that man assumed all gentleness and joy crept on his eyes and brows, “On that day, you were ‘drawing lots’ in the rear hall. I also sneaked there to have a look. But, out of my expectation, you directly grabbed my true-love knot.” … How vivid the red love pea is embedded in the exquisitely carved dice, Just as my feelings for you deep in my bones.

My Thoughts on Princess too Young, Prince too Old
"Princess too Young, Prince too Old" hooked me with its intriguing premise and the promise of a slow-burn romance. With a healthy dose of historical drama set in ancient China, I dove in hoping for a heartwarming story, and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed.
First Impressions
The initial chapters paint a picture of a duty-bound prince who, through circumstances, develops a protective affection for his younger cousin. This set up the foundation for a unique dynamic that I found immediately appealing. The political backdrop and the hints of court intrigue added layers to what could have easily been a simple romance.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its character development and the gradual unfolding of the central relationship. The "slow romance" tag is definitely accurate, and I appreciated the time the author took to build the connection between the leads. The male lead's initial feelings of care and protectiveness evolving into something deeper felt organic and believable. I also enjoyed the female lead's desire for a simple life, free from the constraints of political marriages. This shared yearning created a strong foundation for their eventual bond. The world-building, while perhaps not overly detailed, provides a solid stage for the drama to unfold.
Areas of Concern
While the slow romance is a selling point for many, the sheer length of the novel (around 1000 chapters) could be daunting for some readers. Also, the number of characters introduced can be overwhelming, making it difficult to keep track of everyone's roles and motivations. I also understand that for some, the political maneuvering might become tedious before it reaches its peak in the final third of the novel.

Overall, I'd recommend "Princess too Young, Prince too Old" to readers who enjoy slow-paced historical romances with a focus on character development. While the length and potential for political fatigue are valid concerns, the heartwarming relationship between the leads and the promise of a satisfying conclusion make it a worthwhile read. If you are looking for a light and fluffy historical romance, I would recommend this novel.
