[Growing Together + Mutual Healing + Sunny Heroine + Aloof Hero]
Su Nian is an unloved illegitimate daughter in the county magistrate’s household. After being sold, she narrowly escapes death.
At death’s door, she is saved by Ye Li, the all-powerful Ninth Prince.
She thinks she has escaped one disaster, only to fall into another dangerous trap.
He wants her to impersonate the little prince of a neighboring kingdom and become a pawn in his hands.
The years pass peacefully, time flowing like water.
He teaches her to read and write, stands up for her, and again and again pulls her out of the dust.
As they spend their days together, Su Nian gradually realizes that
this Ninth Prince, whom everyone fears, is not actually so frightening. In fact, he can be rather easy to talk to.
