    Highly Recommended: Eight hundred years later, archaeology student Li Ruoxin unearthed a golden hairpin at the foot of Helan Mountain, its end engraved with "Never Apart." From then on, she dreamt every night of the city called Bai Kingdom—firelight, city walls, stone chambers, and a princess named Lingxi. At five, she met a boy from Blackwater City who said, "I will always be with you." At twelve, he was banished from the palace, placing the hairpin in her hand: "Wait for me to return and marry you." At sixteen, her elder brother was poisoned, and her sister-in-law and her infant nephew perished in the palace. Overnight, she went from princess to rebel, from innocent girl to avenger. Some say the fate of Bai Kingdom rests on her shoulders. But she only wants to ask the man who waited for her in Blackwater City for a year: "Sha Chi, you said you would protect me for life, do you still mean it?" He did not answer. At the scene of an antiquities smuggling case, she saw a man wearing a red rope—his tiger's mouth had a scar exactly like hers.
