She was a little girl whose parents rarely spent time with her. Then, while out shopping, she was drawn to a book. The vendor offered it for free on one condition, and her weakness for a bargain quickly got the better of her. She took the book home, and that was how the extraordinary events began.

The emperor was infatuated with her and declared his love, but she did not return his feelings. He never received the words of love he longed to hear.
For her sake, Prince Yi even made a deal with the devil, sacrificing his gentle, kind, and admirable nature. He wanted her to say she loved him, even if she was lying, but she would not give him even that.
Xiao Junbai protected her all his life and only confessed his love on his deathbed. It was so overwhelming that she could hardly breathe, and she fled...
