A planned assassination leaves Pei Yingrong stranded in the outskirts. Covered in wounds, she climbs into a carriage and cannot help losing herself for a moment at the sight of the frail, handsome man before her.
In the quiet carriage, both of them are hiding their own agendas.
Knowing how treacherous the Pei household is and having suffered its back-room schemes, Pei Yingrong has no choice but to join forces with Li Xu if she wants to leave alive.
Pei Yingrong longs for freedom and despises the schemes of the imperial harem and inner quarters. Yet, to survive, she has no choice but to scheme at every turn and tread carefully.

When the person before him does not move, Li Xu is about to urge her on, but sees that she remains completely still, gazing lifelessly in the direction of the palace gates.
