Su Manyun was born a noble young lady of a distinguished family in the capital. But then the Su family fell in a single day. Her father was executed, and her mother took her own life…
She was taken away from the capital and studied medicine in Lingxi Valley, living under an assumed name for seven years.
Seven years later, she accidentally ended up in a brothel and was bought by Xiao Jingzhao to serve as a slave in his prince’s residence.
She assumed the name Bai Su and pretended to have lost her memory, determined only to uncover the truth behind the Su family’s downfall.
He bought the amnesiac woman and intended only to keep her safe for the rest of her life.
But no sooner had she arrived at the prince’s residence than she was repeatedly targeted by assassins, facing danger at every turn.
He reminded himself of the pain of his family’s slaughter, yet he couldn’t control his heart.
She was human, not a plant or a tree; she could feel his devotion. But with her heart set on uncovering the truth, all she could do was pretend not to notice.
Once the truth finally came to light, she could at last tell him with a clear conscience: “Xiao Jingzhao, my Su family never wronged your Xiao family. My father never harmed yours.”
But the true culprit behind it all held the power to decide who lived and died across the realm.
Even so, she was determined to risk everything and fight.
Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, yet he gently took her hand and said tenderly, “I’ll be with you.”
