Pure romance, sweet and angsty, with power plays and jianghu intrigue
He is a hostage from the Northern Kingdom, kept under house arrest in the Great Sheng Kingdom.
She is Taoyuan, the daughter of a family that has passed down its mastery of strategy for generations.
He disguises himself as Lu Shengyu, the Crown Prince of Sheng, the man she admired as a child. He tricks her into marriage and into falling for him, then steals her family's treasured manual, The Book of Myriad Forms.
Little does he know that the most skilled hunters often appear in the guise of prey.
He flees, she pursues, and he has nowhere to run.
The jianghu has a poetic saying for them: “A gentle breeze comes in a flash, and peach blossoms follow in its wake.”
