The Courtyard Is Deep, Why Does Your Highness Love Me Alone?

On a rainy night, I picked up a man covered in blood from the edge of a field. He lied to me that I was a scholar in trouble, and I believed him.

But Zhou Yun, when you held my hand and stabbed the dagger into your heart - was your trembling because of calculation or love? This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
