CROWN AND BLADE
Set in the opulent yet perilous halls of the Song Dynasty, Crown and Blade tells the story of Prince Long Xun, the third prince of the empire, and Wu Lanyin, the fierce and intelligent daughter of a loyal general. Born into a world of luxury, power, and political intrigue, their lives are destined to collide amidst schemes, betrayal, and dark secrets that threaten the very throne.
The empire is rife with tension. Empress Han Lian, Long Xun’s mother, carefully maneuvers the palace politics to protect her children, while the ambitious Consort Wei Zhen schemes for her son, Crown Prince Long Zhao, to ascend the throne. Behind the gilded walls, alliances are fragile, loyalties are tested, and danger hides in every shadow.
Wu Lanyin, trained in martial arts and strategy, steps into this treacherous world when her family becomes entwined with the palace. Her path crosses with the courageous and determined Long Xun, sparking a connection neither can ignore. Together, they navigate assassination attempts, secret societies, and the manipulations of the cunning Grand Chancellor Qiu Der.
Yet, love in a world of swords and betrayal is never simple. Loyalties are challenged, past sins resurface, and hidden enemies—the infamous Assassination Foundation—move closer to striking the imperial family. With every step, Long Xun and Wu Lanyin are drawn deeper into a web of danger, mystery, and forbidden romance.
“Crown and Blade” is a fast-paced, sweeping tale of romance, action, political intrigue, and dark secrets, where love and loyalty are tested against the backdrop of a kingdom on the brink of chaos. Will the third prince and the general’s daughter survive the shadows that threaten to consume them, or will the throne demand a price too high for even the bravest hearts?
