Yan Shuyao was the most beloved princess of the Great Sheng, accustomed to getting whatever she wanted from childhood.
Then she was attacked and lay unconscious for three years. When she woke, the world had turned upside down.
The emperor and empress, who had cherished her above all else, kept their doors shut to her.
Her imperial brother, who had once doted on her, looked at her with nothing but disgust.
Her closest friend, once as dear as a sister, had severed ties with her.
Most shocking of all,
her sworn enemy, Xiao Jiming, heir to Prince Jing, had become her consort!
Even more absurdly, she had begged on her knees for this marriage herself!
And a year into their marriage, “she” had caused a scandal by keeping male favorites and spurning her consort?
Yet Xiao Jiming endured the mockery of the entire capital and acted as though his devotion to her would never waver?
Yan Shuyao felt her whole world collapse.
But she absolutely refused to believe Xiao Jiming was truly in love with her.
Yan Shuyao watched his act with cold eyes, utterly unimpressed.

Everything that belonged to her, her wealth, power, status, the emperor and empress’s affection, her brother’s love... She would take it all back with her own hands.
As for that “good consort,” pretending to be patient and devoted while secretly plotting who knew what?
Hmph. Let’s see how long he can keep up the act.
Wait, something’s not right. Could he really be sincere?

By the time Yan Shuyao realized something was amiss,
Xiao Jiming was kneeling at her feet, gazing up at her with admiration in his eyes.
“Your Highness, please show me some affection.”
Yan Shuyao planted a foot on his chest, hooked a finger under his chin, and gave him a radiant, imperious smile.
“Xiao Jiming, amuse me.”

To Xiao Jiming, Yan Shuyao was the bright moon he had admired all his life but could never hope to possess. He had never dared to dream of her.
But later, that moon fell into his arms and gave him the most beautiful days of his life.
