Synopsis

A secret imperial decree, five years of bitter hatred. He dragged his moonlight from the clouds and crushed her with his own hands.

Years ago, Su He, the daughter of the prime minister, showed kindness and took in a gloomy hostage prince. Five years of love ended in her family’s ruin and her country’s downfall. He returned after laying waste to the realm, locking the proud woman away as his lowest slave.

Humiliation, imprisonment, torment of body and soul. He thought hatred was all he felt.

Until she took poison with her heart already dead and left a farewell letter: “My debt is paid. Do not look for me.”

Only then did he realize in his madness that hatred had long since become an obsession eating away at his bones. And the crimes of her father and brothers had been part of a vast conspiracy.

Later, when the enemy prince held a blade to her throat, the man who had once hated her to the core stared at him with bloodshot eyes. “Touch her and see what happens!”

An all-consuming tragic romance: a hostage prince’s rise and a noblewoman’s fall, with revenge and mistaken love pulling them in opposite directions.

A ruthless, possessive pursuit: from physical imprisonment to emotional submission, a love that insists, “You’ll never escape.”

A twist of truth: behind the blood feud lies a shocking conspiracy, and beneath the hatred, a love that never died.

The long road to winning her back: only when she resolutely chooses death does he begin to regret everything in a frenzy. Matched as equals: she is no fragile flower, but clear-eyed and resilient, and in the end, she stands beside him.

(A friendly warning: this is a story about redemption and reconciliation, with a happy ending. If you’re looking for a relentlessly heartbreaking ending where everyone gets a bad ending, this may not be for you. But if, like me, you love stories where hardship gives way to happiness and broken relationships are mended, then jump right in. There’s plenty of sweetness here!)
