One and Only

Zhou Sheng Chen grows up under the shadow of his elder brother, the Emperor, until thirteen, when he rides out to guard the frontier and carve a name as a loyal and accomplished general. Cui Shi Yi, a well-educated daughter from a prestigious clan, has been pledged to the Crown Prince since birth. Yet political machinations and tragic events leave Cui Shi Yi mute, her former betrothed elevated to a child Emperor, and Zhou Sheng Chen returning to the capital amid a maelstrom of turmoil.
