An imaginary ancient setting
A gentle, courteous official's son as the shou X a possessive, sickly prince as the gong
He thought every encounter between them was a coincidence.
Little did he know that the sickly prince had carefully planned each step.
Su Yu only wanted to study in peace at the Imperial College and bring honor to his family.
Then, one spring-rainy day, he walked over to Mu Rongli, the sickly prince whom everyone else shunned.
“Your Highness, is anyone sitting here?”
From then on, a pale, quiet classmate stayed by his side.
Mu Rongli, the seventh prince of the reigning dynasty, had been frail since birth and rarely left his residence.
Everyone said he was pure and harmless, as fragile as glass.
Only Su Yu gradually realized that unfathomable darkness lay hidden in the prince's eyes.
Sharing an umbrella in the rain, exchanging ancient books, lending each other a hand by chance...
Every approach felt like falling into a gentle web.
When Su Yu resolved to head for the northern frontier, hoping to escape their suffocating closeness through blood and fire, Mu Rongli stopped him in a covered walkway late at night. A stubborn, dark tide surged in his glassy eyes.
“Su Yu, in this world, you can't just take any road you want, or cut ties whenever you please.”
Includes childhood-sweetheart flashbacks. A childhood misunderstanding started the obsession he would carry for years.
“I've never taken off the jade gourd you gave me beneath the wisteria that year.”
“Su Yu, since you chose to come to me, don't even think about escaping again for the rest of your life.”
