She is the neglected, frail legitimate daughter of an earl's household, and the fiancée her nephew has just become engaged to.
He is the aloof, ascetic Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, a powerful figure at court and the most famous untouchable beauty in the Great Yi Dynasty.
They should have remained distant, as an elder and a younger relation, until an absurd "life-extension directive" shattered the taboo.
[ Ding! Immediately make physical contact with the Child of Destiny, or be erased at once! ]
To stay alive, she has no choice but to keep testing the danger zone, pushing this ruthless man's limits.
By day, she hides shyly behind her fiancé and obediently calls him, "Little Uncle."
At night, she slips into his dreams, only to be held captive in his arms as he claims her in a storm of passion.
She thinks it is nothing more than an unreal encounter in a dream, and that she can leave unscathed once she gets through the System's punishment period.
Who would have thought that on the day her engagement is broken off, the man who has always been proper and reserved would lose control completely?
The gates of the Court of Judicial Review's prison are shut tight. The man in his crimson official robes corners her, his finger pressing hard against her red lips.
"You only want to draw the line now? Too late."
