Lu Zhi keeps falling into the same old dream.

In her past life, in a side room of the Imperial Music Bureau, she was poisoned with Scarlet Smoke Powder. As villains closed in outside the door, she was driven to desperation and clung to Qi Ji, the powerful head of the Prison Bureau, whose hands held life and death.

"Please, my lord... have mercy..." Lu Zhi's lips trembled, broken words spilling from between her teeth.

"Think carefully," the man said slowly. "The Prison Bureau doesn't do favors for free. I save you today, and one day I'll collect everything you owe me, piece by piece."

"I'll remember." Ragged breaths escaped her throat. "Whenever you wish to collect, my lord, I'll honor the debt."

The man gazed silently at her, trembling as the drug tormented her. "If the drug wears off and you regret this, the Prison Bureau has plenty of ways to make you keep your word."

When she woke from the dream, she dismissed it as an illusion. Little did she know that Qi Ji, too, dreamed the same sensuous old dream on countless sleepless nights.

Lu Zhi muttered to herself: How strange.

Qi Ji thought to himself: What the hell?

They both dismissed it as a baseless nightmare and gave it no further thought, until a chance encounter on a bustling street. Lu Zhi looked up and unexpectedly met those deep, cold eyes.

The man from her dream was standing right in front of her, alive. The wheels of fate began to turn in silence.
