Summary:
The story begins during the Sung Dynasty of ancient China. The country is in great chaos due to the infamous Jin Kang Rebellion.
Fearing the possible destruction that is sure to ensue, Concubine Liu tearfully entrusts the care of her baby daughter, Princess Yi Fu, to a common citizen named Tang Hui. Tang Hui immediately escapes with the princess to the south. And so, Princess Yi Fu’s whereabouts becomes a mystery.
Now, ten years later, the Tang has returned to power and the great family wishes to all exiled family members to return. But Zi Li is happy with her life. She knows that returning means giving up her love; for a peasant could never court a princess.
And courtship between a princess and a palace warrior is equally frowned upon. But that does little to quell the fire that burns inside Zhong Lu, a famed warrior charged with the task of finding and restoring the princess to the throne.

Review
This manga is your typical ‘lost princess’ who does not want to resume her royal identity. Is in love with the man she’s been with all her life. But then falls in love with the man she initially hates.
We’re first introduced to our female heroine, Zi Li, who lives a carefree life away from the palace struggles with the man she loves, our second male lead, Tang Hui who’s a doctor. Tang Hui and Zi Li were known by the fishing villagers as siblings, but obviously this is not what or how they both feel about each other. Zi Li loves him openly while Tang Hui loves her secretly. But fate are not kind to them. She’s destined to return to the palace, where she meets our first male lead, Zhong Lu a famed warrior.
Initially they both do not have a good impression of each other, but you know what they say… Within time love is formed. Their love is placed through trials when Zi Li returns to the palace and assumes her princess identity. Suddenly one of Zhong Lu ex lover shows up at the same time claiming she’s the real princess and Zi Li is a fake.
Once that ordeal has done her time in the palace, she starts to uncover past secrets and memories. How will this love story end? Read and you’ll find out, you can find the manga here
if I am not mistaken, this manga is a sequel (forgot the title of the prequel though). the prequel also has interesting story with strong female lead.
btw, have you read “wedding” manhua? it also has an interesting story with strong female lead. it’s rare to find such character in shoujo genre.
