Golden Terrace (Novel) Vol. 1

Two nemesis must put aside their differences and enter a political marriage arranged by the emperor. Will their burning hatred for one another become something even stronger? The beloved danmei (Boys’ Love) novel returns with an all-new translation and illustrations!

The renowned Marquis of Jingning, commander of the Beiyan Cavalry, Fu Shen is a powerful figure in the Imperial military and commands great respect. When he is injured on the battlefield, the emperor arranges a marriage for him upon his return home to the capital. Unfortunately for Fu Shen not only is his new spouse a man—but it’s his political nemesis, the famed Imperial Investigator of the Feilong Guard, Yan Xiaohan. 

Divided by political differences, it seems impossible that the two of them can live peacefully under one roof. Yet, somehow they gradually find their footing with one another and even manage to accept each other’s presence. But this is merely the calm before the storm as the mystery behind the attack at the northern border begins to unfold. What danger threatens the peace of Great Zhou and what will it mean for these rivals-turned-spouses?
