Su Xinyi is moonlight hidden away in the inner chambers, quiet, timid, and weighed down by her thoughts.
At first sight, she falls for the gentle and refined Wen Wujiu. She secretly buries all the feelings of a young girl in love, believing this will be her lifelong obsession.
But what she sees is the tenderness in his eyes reserved solely for Chu Mingyue.
A perfect match, admired by all: she is no more than a shadow in the corner, unnoticed by anyone.
Until a flash of red blazes into her life like fire: Huo Tongyan, a young general returned from the northern frontier. Fierce and sharp, with eyes like an eagle's, yet amid all the clamor, he fixes his gaze on her alone.
He sees through her insecurities, shields her from embarrassment, and awakens her from her fixation.
His quiet words, “You don't have to keep looking in just one direction,” turn her whole life upside down.
One scholarly, one martial; one cool, one fiery.
She once gave her heart to moonlight, but in the end, she is gathered into the arms of a blazing flame.
Treachery in the inner palace, feuds between great families, love and hate intertwined.
This time, she doesn't have to look up to anyone. One person will come to her burning with passion, giving her everything and never letting her down.
