The Blind Prince Mistakes His One True Love

"I once thought you were my salvation. Turns out, you were my doom."

The dazzling Princess Zhaohua of Great Zhou, Jiang Tanyang, discovers Yan Ji, a blind hostage prince from an enemy kingdom, in a corner of the Cold Palace. Once the brilliant Crown Prince of Yan who stunned the Five Kingdoms Assembly, he has now become a prisoner anyone can bully. Moved by compassion, she reaches out to him, unaware that this will mark the beginning of a love that sets her heart ablaze.

He carves a hairpin in Braille for her, and she shields him from the condemnation of the entire court. The warmth of their embrace when his cold poison flares, the stirring harmony of their music beneath the moon, the warmth of the half-jade pendant they share when they pledge themselves to each other: three years later, every tender memory turns into a blade.

When Yan Ji leads his iron cavalry to breach the imperial city of Great Zhou, Tanyang finally realizes that the boy who once held her hand and said, "Wait for me," died long ago in the struggle for power. Worse still, her sister Tanyue, who calls herself his "benefactor," stands at his side, while Tanyang herself has become a servant whom he personally cast down into the dirt.

"Your Majesty, do you know that you mistook the love of your life for someone else?"

Only when the truth is revealed in a leap from the city tower, blood staining the snow, does Yan Ji tremble as he picks up the bloodied half of the jade pendant and understand whom the flames of his revenge truly destroyed.

A mistaken love that began with blind eyes and ended with a blind heart

A struggle that wagers the realm and lays true love as its trap

When the bright moon falls over the lonely city, all that remains for the rest of their lives is longing amid the ashes
