Xiao Jue, the tenth prince of the Nanzhao Kingdom, is a playboy well-known to everyone in Jingyao City. He is loved by thousands of people. He acts arrogantly and domineering. He fights chickens and lackeys all the time. He is the "proud son of heaven" who cannot be supported in the eyes of everyone. This "arrogance" hides a bluff that others cannot understand.
Being named on the Imperial Examination Gold List was originally an opportunity for Xiao Jue to prove that he was "not just about having fun", but he unexpectedly fell into a trap set by Shen Yanzhou. Shen Yanzhou, the number one scholar from a poor family, was as elegant and dignified as the moon in the sky. He was a being that Xiao Jue only dared to look up to from afar. He knew that he was notorious and Shen Yanzhou would never have anything to do with him, but in this deliberate intersection, he still couldn't hold back and handed over his hot heart.
Shen Yanzhou did hate Xiao Jue at first. In his eyes, this prince was just a scum who acted recklessly based on his status, and setting up a trap was only a necessary means to clear out the worms in the court. But as he spent time with Xiao Jue, he slowly got a glimpse of the truth behind that "dandy" shell: his arrogance was to protect himself; the so-called favor was just an illusion for the royal family to balance the forces of all parties, and he had never really been loved.
After the Qiongtai banquet, the moonlight was cold and cold. Shen Yanzhou's eyes turned red for the first time as he held Xiao Jue, who was covered in injuries and only fragile after taking off all disguises. He cried bitterly while holding this person whom he once despised and calculated, but now he was full of guilt and distress. It turned out that the trap he set trapped not only Xiao Jue, but also his own belated heart. And Xiao Jue leaned in his arms, smelling the fragrance of ink on his body, and couldn't tell whether the emotion in this "trap" was an accident or was destined.
