烈夏站在古色古香的庭院中，抬手拂去脸上的尘土。她穿着一袭素净的衣裳，长发及腰，却给人一种说不出的凌乱感。这种感觉让她想起记忆中的那个夏天，她的头发总是凌乱地抛在肩头，脸上带着一种说不清道不明的慌乱。
“小姐，这里请。”一个清冷的声音突然响起，将烈夏拉回现实。
她转过身，看到一张陌生的脸庞。那是一个陌生的国度，空气中弥漫着一股混合了泥土和草药的气息。那人的面容英俊得不似凡人，眉眼如画，却给人一种说不出的孤独感。
“ you are… a princess?” she asked in broken English.
The man looked up at her with an expression that was both shocked and intrigued. His eyes seemed to hold the secrets of the past, but he had no idea what those secrets were.
“ I am Princess Xiong,” he said formally.
烈夏’s heart raced as she realized who this man was. She had heard stories about the Xiong family, a dynasty known for their wisdom and strength. But even now, when she looked into his eyes, she felt a mix of fear and excitement.
“ Your story is familiar, but different from what I’ve heard,” she said cautiously.
Princess Xiong smiled faintly. “ It’s not just a story… it’s something that has been passed down through generations.”
The conversation quickly shifts to the past.烈夏 learns about her mother’s mysterious disappearance and the secret love she had for this prince. But as she delves deeper into his world, she realizes there is more to him than meets the eye.
As the pages turn, the tension between them increases. The air is thick with unspoken emotions when they come face to face, but both are guarded by their secrets. Every word they exchange carries a weight that no one should bear alone.
Finally, in the heart of the kingdom, they find what they seek—a forbidden love that has been lost for centuries. But as their relationship grows, so do the questions about who they really are and what will happen to them when the time is up.
In the end, the story closes not with answers, but with a promise of new beginnings, both for them and for those who remain behind.
