Description
Li Rong married Pei Wenxuan at the age of 18. Li Rong used Pei Wenxuan’s family background to avoid disaster, and Pei Wenxuan used Li Rong’s identity as Princess to establish himself. They married for political reasons, without the slightest bit of affection. Later on, she lost herself in the midst of wine, song and dance. As for him, he had a home yet did not bother coming home because he already had someone in his heart… Husband and wife for 30 years, yet nothing between them but power. In the end, it was hardly surprising that someone turned them against each other, leading them to die under each other’s schemes. However, when they woke up, they had actually returned to the year when they were 18 years old, returning to the most difficult time in their lives. So Pei Wenxuan went to look for Li Rong. “Does Your Highness feel that we should go through this marriage again?” “Let’s do it…” “Then this humble one must get rid of your ‘Guest Official’ first.” “Do you think I’ll let your sweetheart off?!” After a long wordless silence, Pei Wenxuan spoke again: “How about we bear with one another for the time being? In two years, when we each have power in our hands, you and I will divorce. From then on, if there are grievances, settle those grievances, if there are grudges, settle those grudges. What does the Princess think?” Li Rong hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Fine, go ahead with it first…” Later, Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong secured the power to control the Imperial Court. Seeing Li Rong write up the divorce letter at home, Pei Wenxuan looked left and right, considering the situation from all angles, then finally walked into the study. “The children are already this old, how about we keep living like this for a while?”

My Thoughts on The Grand Princess
"The Grand Princess" is a complex historical fantasy romance that surprised me. Going in, I expected a fairly straightforward rebirth story, but what I found was a deeply layered narrative exploring human nature, political intrigue, and the enduring power of love and regret. While the path to a happy ending is paved with angst and complicated relationships, the journey is ultimately rewarding.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a "bickering couple" and the enemies-to-lovers trope. The early chapters deliver on this, with witty banter and a palpable tension between the leads. However, it quickly becomes apparent that there's much more beneath the surface. The reverse storytelling, slowly revealing the events of their past life, adds a compelling layer of mystery.
What Works Well
What truly elevates "The Grand Princess" is its character development. Both Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan are flawed, multi-dimensional individuals grappling with past mistakes and present insecurities. I particularly appreciated how the novel explores the societal and environmental factors that shape their actions. This isn't just a story about romance; it's a story about personal growth and redemption.
Many readers praised Pei Wenxuan's character, noting his complexity and his willingness to reflect on his actions. He's not the typical flawless male lead; he's insecure, sometimes petty, but ultimately empathetic and hardworking. Li Rong, on the other hand, is a strong, intelligent woman who is both calculating and fiercely protective of her loved ones. Her cynicism and guarded nature are understandable, given her upbringing in the palace and the betrayals she's experienced.
Areas of Concern
Some readers have expressed concerns about the female lead's actions, finding her too harsh or unforgiving. I can understand this perspective, as Li Rong is certainly not a traditionally "nice" character. However, I believe her actions are justified by her past experiences and her desire to protect herself and her loved ones. Others felt that the ML was not deserving of her affections.

Final Verdict
Despite some reservations about the female lead's actions, I found "The Grand Princess" to be a compelling and thought-provoking read. The well-developed characters, intricate plot, and exploration of human nature make this a standout in the historical romance genre. If you're looking for a story that will challenge you and leave you with a lasting impression, I highly recommend giving "The Grand Princess" a try.
