Shen Yiran has been blind since childhood, but her extraordinary hearing and brilliant business acumen have earned her the title of the capital's foremost blind prodigy. Trying to escape an arranged marriage, she hurried toward a rockery and barreled straight into a man in brocade robes. In her panic, she reached out and felt his firm chest, then accidentally pressed her lips to his.
The man was Pei Jingxiao, the Marquis of Zhenbei. He had resisted the marriage his father arranged with the Shen family, but this collision made him fall at once for the spirited, lively girl. After looking into her identity, he was shocked to discover that the young woman before him was none other than Shen Yiran, the woman he was supposed to marry.
But Shen Yi was fixated on finding the boy who had saved her ten years ago, the one with a red mole between his brows. She paid no attention to Pei Jingxiao's advances. Consumed by jealousy, Pei Jingxiao broke into her chambers at night to confess his feelings, arrived at her door with a lavish procession of wedding gifts, and even sent her a peregrine falcon and a special wind-listening zither from the frontier. He gave her every bit of tenderness he had.
Commandery Princess Wen and Ji Mingyu took turns scheming against them, and their fathers argued in public over the pair. Pei Jingxiao shouldered every crisis himself, but Shen Yi saw him only as a playboy who wouldn't leave her alone.
In the chaos at Soulbreak Cliff, Pei Jingxiao fell into the Blackwater Pool while protecting her. Badly injured and suffering from amnesia, he became a stranger to her. Shen Yi searched all across Jiangnan for him, and at last discovered the truth in an old scripture at Hanshan Temple: the boy who had risked his life to protect her, and whose red mole between his brows had disappeared beneath a scar, was Pei Jingxiao.
For ten years, he set aside his military achievements and pursued her humbly, enduring her coldness alone. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, she traveled a thousand miles to find him and took the initiative to win back the man she loved, even though he had lost his memory. A push-and-pull romance of mutual healing, both leads devoted only to each other, a satisfying story of taking down scoundrels, and a happy ending.
