In This City, You Are the One I’ll Return to for Life

A breathtaking beauty from the Western Regions arrives in Chang'an. One glance can topple a city, and thousands fall in love.

The day Aiding rode into the Western Market, leading a magnificent Ferghana horse across thousands of miles, all of Chang'an held its breath. His peerless looks and exotic elegance were untouched by worldly dust. Like a celestial deer fallen from a snowy mountain into the mortal world, he drew the covetous eyes of merchants, nobles, and common folk alike. Greed and obsession surged toward him from every side, hemming him in layer by layer.

No one dared to stop them, and no one could escape.

Cui Zhi, Duke of Zhenguo, held power over the court and was cold-blooded and bloodthirsty. He was the demon of the abyss no one in Chang'an dared look in the eye. He stood alone on horseback as ten thousand people bowed before him. Nothing in the world caught his attention; his eyes held only the young man from the snowy mountain.

The fierce horse bowed before him, and all who saw him submitted.

He reached out and gently brushed the boy's reddened ear, his voice indifferent yet obsessively possessive to the bone:

Come home with me.
