Staying with the Princess Like a Full Moon

Description
I had been trapped in the deep palace for sixteen years, living as an unnamed mute princess. He was like the full moon, radiant and complete, always by my side, protecting me with utmost care. Even when he suffered countless pains because of it, he never uttered a word of complaint. He once coughed up blood in the wilderness, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, and softly said, “I only wish for the Princess’s safety.” But the truth is, the moon is not always full. Where there is fullness, there is bound to be a waning. Such was the case for Ling Jiu and me.

My Thoughts on Staying with the Princess Like a Full Moon
First Impressions
"Staying with the Princess Like a Full Moon" immediately grabbed my attention with its blend of historical romance and drama. The premise of an unfavored princess and her shadow guard falling in love in ancient China felt ripe with potential for both heartwarming moments and heartbreaking conflict. I was eager to dive in and see how their story unfolded, especially given the tags suggesting a "cold love interest" and "mute character," which hinted at unique character dynamics.
What Works Well
The emotional depth of this story is definitely its strongest point. I found myself completely invested in the relationship between the princess and her bodyguard. The author does a fantastic job of portraying the challenges they face, not just from their own personal struggles, but also from the rigid societal constraints of their world. The political intrigue adds another layer of complexity, making their love feel even more precious and hard-won. The story is relatively short and it really packs an emotional punch. I was left feeling satisfied and moved by the ending.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the overall story, I do agree that the ending could have been fleshed out a bit more. The logistics of their escape and new life felt somewhat glossed over. The role of the second male lead, while helpful, felt a little too convenient. It would have been nice to see more details about how he orchestrated their freedom and the sacrifices he might have had to make. A little more depth in that area would have elevated the ending from good to truly great.

Final Verdict
Despite my minor reservations about the ending's pacing, I wholeheartedly recommend "Staying with the Princess Like a Full Moon." It's a beautiful and poignant story about love, loyalty, and overcoming adversity. If you're a fan of historical romance with a touch of tragedy and don't mind a shorter read, this novel is definitely worth your time. Be prepared to shed a few tears, but also to feel a sense of hope and relief as you witness the princess and her guard find their happily ever after.
