Back then, Jiang Zhi sold the boy she'd taken in to the frontier for five taels of silver, so she could support a poor scholar who would become the husband of a high-ranking official.
She thought she'd never see him again.
Five years later, to repay the debt of having her life saved, she enters Prince Rui's household as a personal maid.
The wounds she suffered in the past are etched into her bones. Whenever a man comes near, she instinctively panics and backs away.
Then, quite by chance, she notices Prince Rui's heated gaze. From his eyes, Jiang Zhi realizes that the high-ranking prince commanding a great army is none other than the boy she sold all those years ago.
Xiao Jin watches her quietly. The feelings he's kept hidden for five years finally come to light. "Jiang Xiaoliu, you were the one who sent me away. Now it's your turn to stay by my side and repay your debt."
He closes in on her step by step, wanting to reclaim the years they lost.
Haunted by nightmares of the past, she still can't escape the man before her, so familiar yet so strange.
