Overnight, the crown prince was deposed and the entire Nan family was slaughtered, leaving Nan Luoyuan with nothing but a broken home and a ruined life. She swore she would clear her father’s name, but with nothing to her name, she met with setbacks at every turn. Even making a living was hard, let alone clearing his name. She also held something everyone wanted, something even Zongzheng Yanqing coveted.
“A-Yuan, that thing must not fall into imperial hands, or it will bring disaster to the people.”
“Zongzheng Yanqing, what about you? Do you want it?”
The man looked at her earnestly. “It would be safer with me.”
Nan Luoyuan gave a mocking laugh. “Help me sell these cosmetics first. Then I’ll think about it.”
Without hesitation, the man agreed.
From then on, Zongzheng Yanqing spent his entire life pursuing Nan Luoyuan, their lives bound together inextricably.
