An accident sends Lin Xi, a modern soul, plunging into the depths of ancient times, where he becomes a little beggar on the brink of death on a snowy night.
At the moment his life hangs by a thread, he finds himself face-to-face with a pair of eyes cold enough to freeze his bones: those of Xiao Jue, the powerful and ruthless Prince Ling.
On a whim, Xiao Jue brings this mysterious “little thing” back to his strictly guarded manor and tosses him among the lowliest servants.
He watches coldly as the little beggar clumsily struggles to survive, occasionally revealing a strange clarity and cunning far beyond his years.
Is he a pawn? A plaything? Or... a hidden threat?
Behind towering walls and deep courtyards, undercurrents surge.
Lin Xi treads carefully, struggling to survive under the prince's seemingly casual scrutiny while using an adult's mind to keep up his difficult pretense.
From the servants' quarters to the ruler's side, from a lowly beggar to receiving the imperial surname Ling,
Every step he takes lands on Xiao Jue's carefully laid chessboard, yet quietly chips away at the ice around the man's heart.
The court's fortunes suddenly shift. The throne changes hands, and a storm of blood and violence breaks loose.
Xiao Jue steps to the pinnacle of power, becoming the regent who rules the realm, the murderous aura around him growing ever more chilling.
And amid these towering waves, Lin Xi is forced to face a fate he can no longer escape:
He is both the tiny firefly resting in the prince's palm,
and the only person who can glimpse, beneath that ten-thousand-foot sheet of ice,
a trace of weariness and a hairline crack.
It begins as an act of taming born of pity and calculation,
but amid conspiracy, betrayal, and facing death together,
it transforms into an obsession and forbidden love the world cannot accept.
It makes me very embarrassed😅
Good-looking and good-looking.
