The Hou mansion's fake heiress had been exposed. To protect herself, Dai Wan had to act.
With every ounce of false sincerity she could muster, Dai Wan ingratiated herself with her stepbrother, who had always detested her, yet was undeniably elegant, handsome, and impossibly aloof. She hoped he would let her stay at the mansion until her missing aunt returned.
One fall into the water bound their fates together.
Dai Wan gained the ability to share Sui Jing's sensations.
And so, in her damp dreams, a shadowy, forbidden desire took root...
In some secret corner where no one would ever know, she would use this bond to seduce him, possess him, and then abandon him.
She would make someone so high above the world fall into the same mud as her.
After all their twists and turns, Sui Jing remained the same man, serenely seated on the Moonlight Terrace, untouched by mortal feelings.
So Dai Wan was frustrated. Dai Wan gave up.
And turned to someone else, with whom she fell mutually in love.
Who could have guessed that the gaze of that man, cold as the moon, would grow darker and more inscrutable by the day?
From the shadows, he watched her smile at someone else, watched her touch another person's hand.
At last, the clear breeze and bright moon were stained with filth, turning into sticky black mud amid jealousy and furtive watching.
Only then did Dai Wan finally understand what a terrifying monster lived beneath that clean, handsome face.
So she faked her death.
Just as she escaped the Hou mansion and was about to begin a new life,
The person she most wanted to escape came walking toward her through the hazy moonlight.
His beautiful, noble face was wreathed in a gentle smile. His long, pale fingers clamped tight around Dai Wan's wrist as he leaned close to whisper in her ear.
"Now, let me be the one to win you over, all right?~"
