After transmigrating into the body of an orphan girl, Yun Shu never expected the biggest twist of her life to be saving a prince who was already betrothed, then giving her own heart to him. Yet both of them have to pretend not to understand what they feel, hiding their love beneath the guise of "lord and subject" and "gratitude," until it nearly breaks them.
From that first glance in the wilderness, their so-called "restraint" was nothing but self-deception. He feared betraying the duty he owed his betrothed; she feared crossing the boundaries of her station. But through every act of protection and every ordeal they endured together, their love grew until it could no longer be concealed. At last, he ended his betrothal. Standing together beneath a crabapple tree, he said, "You don't have to hold back anymore." She smiled through her tears. The best thing about this transmigration was turning a lifetime of restrained affection into the certainty that there could only ever be one person for her.
