Reborn in a new life, Ling Xiyue became Shen Qingchen's betrothed.
In her previous life, she had hated this cold-faced master the most.
People called him "a refined gentleman in white, transcendent and otherworldly," a man who seemed like an immortal banished from heaven.
But Ling Xiyue despised his strict ways, his old-fashioned rigidity, and how he wouldn't let even the most trivial things go.
Until one night, when she was afflicted by an aphrodisiac and stumbled into his room in desperation.
This master, so pure and immaculate, hesitated for only a moment before letting her roughly tug open his tightly fastened sash.
Later, he even let her bind his hands and blindfold him...
Again and again.
Watching the lofty master humiliated beneath her, a secret delight gradually welled up in Ling Xiyue's heart.

When Shen Qingchen was gravely injured, a young girl saved him.
The girl had a fiery temper. She was always complaining that his wounds healed too slowly and that looking after him was a hassle, and she kept saying he would have to repay her someday.
He had been poisoned at the time, and his face was disfigured, so the girl never remembered who he was.
But he kept her in his heart.
Later, she became his disciple. He didn't dare reveal his feelings, so he followed the rules to the letter and taught her with meticulous care.
But she died.
Not protecting her was the greatest regret of Shen Qingchen's life.

The first night after Ling Xiyue was reborn was her wedding night with Shen Qingchen.
Shen Qingchen came in almost numb, but the moment he saw her, his body trembled.
The familiar pose, the unconscious little gestures, and that catchphrase of hers: "This is the end of the world."
Shen Qingchen held back his tears and lifted Ling Xiyue's veil.
The bright moon in his heart had finally returned to his side.
A fiery-tempered, adorable girl * A cool, chaste, nurturing man
