Fireflies Illuminate the Royal Court Below the Steps

Shen Suiwei was born to be afraid of people, afraid of sounds, afraid of eyes, and afraid of all sudden closeness. She had been a maid in the palace for three years. She huddled in the most remote snow-clearing alley deep in the palace, hiding in the shadows of the crowd. She spoke little and avoided disputes. She was like a speck of dust falling in the cracks of the bricks. She just wanted to survive the service period and leave the palace safely. Everyone knows that Prince Jing Xiao Heng is the most powerful half-brother of the emperor. He is seven years older than her. He is suffering from a cold disease and has a cold and distant temperament. He lives in the Glazed Palace, where he sees all the strange things in the court. His whole body is covered with a layer of frost that cannot be broken away. He is indifferent, alienated and does not care about anything. During a blizzard on a winter night, a low-level palace maid who no one cares about encounters a high-ranking prince who is sick and living alone. She was accustomed to hiding and avoiding him, but by some strange combination of circumstances, she caught his fainting body. From then on, under the cold steps of the deep palace, the small and timid Yinghuo was caught off guard and fell into the royal court that had been frozen all year round. Everyone feels that the humble palace maid clings to the powerful in an attempt to reach the sky in one fell swoop. Only Xiao Heng knew clearly that it was this little girl who did not dare to look at people and was not good at words, who gradually smoothed over his half-life coldness and became the only tenderness that refused to be extinguished in his deathly palace. She was afraid of all the noise in the world, but she only dared to get close to him. He has seen through all the hypocrisy in the world, but he only prefers her pure and pure sincerity hidden under the skin of cowardice. The palace is treacherous, the court is turbulent, rumors are overwhelming, and the identity gap is huge. Shen Suiwei, who had been timid for most of his life, lost his timidity for him and faced the wind and rain head on. Xiao Heng, who had been lonely for half his life, took off the frost for her and overturned the royal court. Intention: Even if you have a humble status and a cowardly nature, your small kindness and pure sincerity can bridge the gap between respect and inferiority and save each other from being lonely for half your life.
