After staying up all night to finish the final draft of her manuscript, Lin Wei opened her eyes to find herself transmigrated into the Regent’s household in the Great Yao Dynasty, as an amnesiac orphan of unknown origins. The man before her was Xiao Jue, the regent: as handsome as a sculpture carved from ice jade, cunning and decisive in matters of state, with eyes that could see through every political current. Yet he regarded her, this “orphan who had fallen from the sky,” with a mixture of scrutiny and curiosity.
To find a place for herself in this unfamiliar world, Lin Wei quietly brought out her “psychology toolkit.” She saw through the princess’s attempts to provoke her and calmed a palace banquet with just a few words. And when Xiao Jue’s old injury flared up, leaving him restless and irritable, she gently opened up his frozen heart, letting the powerful regent experience, for the first time, what it felt like to be understood.
She had meant to uncover her past and find a way home, but as the days went by, she grew used to seeing his iron resolve at court and his exhaustion as he worked through memorials late into the night. She also touched the tenderness hidden beneath his black ceremonial crown. He would steer her clear of his political enemies’ traps, and when she was accused of being “an enemy spy,” he declared before everyone, “Anyone under my protection is off-limits.”
When the wisdom of psychology meets the art of political maneuvering, and a stranger who has transmigrated crosses paths with the beloved who has been waiting for her, they join hands to uncover conspiracies and steady the court. Beneath their brocade curtains and in the moonlight, they slowly come to understand that a love spanning time and space was never an accident. It was destiny: “You understand my vulnerability, and I protect what makes you unique.”
From then on, Great Yao had a regent’s wife who could solve problems with her insight. And Xiao Jue’s world, once cold and filled with nothing but political intrigue, finally gained its days and nights, its warmth, and a place where he could spend a lifetime by her side.
