[Forced love + bittersweet romance]
A mad, brutal king x a frail princess of a fallen kingdom
The eighteen-year-old princess of Chu is sent to Wu to marry for the sake of peace, but a snowstorm strikes along the way.
At the moment of life and death, she is rescued by a man who wields supreme power.
She thinks she can finally live, but little does she know that she has fallen into an even deeper pit of fire.
Before Xiao Jue, the lofty ruler of Liang, Chu Hanxue’s life is as insignificant as an ant, and she has no dignity at all.
He gives her the most soul-crushing fear, but also the gentlest affection.
He helps her find her younger brother, whose fate is unknown, yet uses him to keep her captive.
Lost between tangled pain and love, she can only cling tightly to him, the one lifeline she has.
When she finally finds a chance to escape, he goes mad and searches for her at all costs.
But on the way back, they face danger, and without hesitation, he risks his life to protect her.
The cage she once longed to escape eventually becomes a love nest built for her alone.
