When he was six years old, Su Qingci witnessed his whole family being slaughtered, and he could no longer turn off his ability to "read minds".
Within three feet, everyone's voices poured in like a tide - lies, calculations, murderous intentions, desires... She heard all the truth in the world, but she could no longer trust anyone. In order to hide her identity as a former princess, she disguised herself as a man and traveled around the world under the name "Su Qi Gongzi". She suffered in the noise for eight years.
Gu Yan was the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty changed their minds when he heard about it. People in the world called him "Shura". He was murderous and cold, with no emotion in his eyes - no compassion, no anger, not even murderous intent.
No one knows that when he was five years old, he witnessed the murder of his mother, who was poisoned by his aunt and abandoned in a mass grave. In order to survive, his body shut down all emotion. He can't feel joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and he doesn't know what love is and what hate is. There is no difference between being alive and being dead.
Until they met.
Beside him, her world became quiet for the first time - all her thoughts were swallowed up by his presence.
By his side, his world felt warm for the first time - only she could make him feel emotions.
She didn't know if she couldn't live without this quietness or if she couldn't live without him.
He didn't know if he wanted to capture this "feeling" or to capture her.
But their identities are destined to be in opposition: she is the orphan of the former royal family, and he is the adopted son of the regent. He approached her initially just to use her to find an antidote to extend his life; she approached him initially just because he was the only "Quiet".
When the lies and calculations are peeled off, when the court and the world are turbulent, the two incomplete souls test, collide, and redeem each other.
