The nineteen-year-old boy emperor had convulsions every night, and only a wordless ballad in her arms could make him sleep peacefully.
He is Yin Heng, the youngest emperor of the Dayan Dynasty. One year after he ascended the throne, he killed more than 100 people. The courtiers called him "Little King of Hell".
She is Shen Tanyin, the eldest princess of Dayan, the adopted daughter of the late emperor, and his imperial sister - although she is not related by blood.
She protected him because the child who froze all night in the corridor of the cold palace when he was six years old should no longer be abandoned by the world.
But what he coveted was no longer that peace.
When possessiveness tears apart the veil between siblings, and when the court's intrigues push taboos to the forefront, she must make a choice——
Should she continue to be his legitimate "Emperor Sister", or should she accept the answer that she didn't dare to look at directly.
What he has to do is to let go of the power he holds tightly in order to truly hold her hand.
