Mistreated by her maternal family, Xiao Jiujiu grew up as the supposedly dimwitted second young lady of the Xiao household. Yet Huo Yicheng, the mighty Prince of Beijing who could make the winds and rain obey him in the Great Ning Dynasty, schemed to bring the silly girl to his side and care for her devotedly. Everyone except his closest attendant believed he was merely using her to lull the emperor's suspicions, with no other choice. Nobody knew that he was actually the emperor's true “shadow.” The Prince of Beijing, who seemed to covet the throne and provoke the emperor at every turn, was in fact wholeheartedly loyal to him, with no suspicion between them. He only wanted to cleanse the corrupt court and bring generations of peace and integrity to the Great Ning Dynasty. While investigating incognito, he accidentally saved this dimwitted second young lady. Perhaps he was drawn to her, an untainted “beauty in the making,” or perhaps he admired her “extraordinary talent” for solving cases. All he wanted was to free her from the Xiao household, a prison that devoured its own, and keep her like a tender vine, with him as the only one in her heart and eyes, far from the treacherous political upheavals at court. He hid his identity at every turn, afraid she would discover that he was the one who had saved her. But every time he saw her seemingly casually stir up a “storm” in the capital, he finally understood: she had recognized him from the moment they met again at the funeral.

He couldn't help shouting, “You damn well aren't stupid!”
