Novel Synopsis
Ye Qingwu has been reborn, carrying the bitter hatred of her past life, when the scum Prince Huai used her and her entire family was executed. All she wants is to lie low, take revenge, stay away from the political maelstrom, and safely protect those around her.
But she crosses paths with Jiang Qi'an, the deranged imperial preceptor who wields power over the court and is feared by all.
He possesses an uncanny mind-reading ability, hearing the schemes and sinister thoughts of everyone in the world. He holds the court in the palm of his hand, yet he alone cannot read Ye Qingwu.
To him, her heart is a silent, lifeless forbidden zone.
This unprecedented loss of control and the unknown instantly awaken the possessive obsession buried deep within him.
From then on, she flees while he presses her at every turn; she hides while he closes in from all sides; she seeks revenge while he does everything in his power to protect her.
He can hear everyone's vicious schemes, yet cannot hear her inner struggle between love and hate. He can control the hearts of all under heaven, yet all he wants is to lock the one woman he cannot understand inside the only tender cage he will ever offer.
