Chasing Jade: Where Ashes Meet the Light

The bloody massacre in Jinzhou burned away the past. Qi Min, the emperor's eldest grandson, concealed his identity and followed Yuan Huai, wearing a bronze mask as he lay low in the Chou residence for ten years.

His heart was a frozen pool, and revenge was his only purpose, until the gentle, quiet Shen Zhiwei entered the Tranquil Reflection Courtyard and became the sole light in his darkness.

Her tenderness healed his brokenness, but his obsession turned her into a caged bird. He forced himself on her and kept her imprisoned day and night, using the cruelest means to hold on to her, only to push her to the brink of despair.

When she became pregnant, she hardened her heart, fled with the child, and disappeared into the wide world.

Driven mad, he hunted her across mountains and rivers. The once sinister and ruthless heir finally bowed before her, becoming her willing servant and embarking on the long road to win her back. Even when he held power over the court, he set aside his vendetta, wishing only to earn her forgiveness.

From coercive imprisonment to mutual salvation, from forcing her to stay by his side to reuniting at the ends of the earth, this time he was willing to offer the rest of his life in exchange for her peace and a lifetime together.
