In Shen Suyue's heart, Xie Nong's death years ago was something she could never get past. Only by finding the real culprit could she finally be free.
Eight years ago, Shen Suyue went to war disguised as a woman, but suffered a crushing defeat.
Shen Suyue told everyone that she and Xiao Yunchuan were complete strangers.
Yet Xiao Yunchuan kept coming closer, again and again, while Shen Suyue welcomed him with open arms.
The first day they reunited: “This humble subject does not know the heir apparent.”
The second time they met: “Your Highness, if you keep this up, I'll report you for molesting me.”
The third time they met: “I think things between us are getting too ambiguous.”
After the Emperor assigned them to investigate a case together, Shen Suyue grumpily put Xiao Yunchuan's belongings in her jewelry box.
Xiao Yunchuan: “I think we could be even more ambiguous.”
Shen Suyue: “...”
Before long, Shen Suyue let Xiao Yunchuan do whatever he wanted, even whatever he felt like doing.
Everyone: “It's over! The troublemaking devil has corrupted the miracle physician!”
When the Emperor sent them away to investigate, Xiao Yunchuan nearly moved the entire prince's residence with him. His excuse was, “I was afraid my wife wouldn't be comfortable.”
Shen Suyue: “I'm counting to three!”
Xiao Yunchuan: “My lady, I... I was wrong. Please spare me!”
With Shen Suyue by his side, Xiao Yunchuan gradually emerged from the shadows of his mother's death and his father's mistrust.
Xiao Yunchuan knew that standing beside Shen Suyue was like an ordinary mortal foolishly reaching for the moonlight.
Every night, Xiao Yunchuan felt alone. Only when Shen Suyue was there could he feel that someone cared about him.
Shen Suyue rested a hand on his shoulder. “The moonlight shines on everyone, including you.”
“Will the moonlight love me?”
“I'll try to love you.”
