Mo Lin, My Final Destination

He Nanchao hated the character “Lin” in her name more than anything. She had ruled the court and the realm, and come to stand at his side, yet she had never come to him. Later, when a palace coup broke out, she abandoned the city and fled. He searched every inch of the land like a madman, only to hear the rest of the story from one of her old servants: “Miss’s name comes from the saying, ‘Approach deep waters with care, and walk on thin ice.’ She said that with Lord He, she must be as cautious as if facing an abyss, as careful as if walking on thin ice.”
