Yu Wanyue had been blind since childhood. His mother was a songstress, powerless and unknown, and he had quietly grown up in the imperial harem.
Only when the cavalry of the Great Heng Empire broke through the borders of the Yu Kingdom, and its ruler knelt in the great hall to beg for his life, did he suddenly remember he had a son even more beautiful than his daughter.
The first time Yu Wanyue dressed up, he was sent before the hall to be admired by the princes of Great Heng.
He walked into the hall, and the surroundings fell completely silent.
Yu Wanyue turned around in a panic, then suddenly heard a wave of gasps.
Some people were so entranced that they knocked over tables and chairs, and the hall descended into chaos.
A beauty.
Skin like jade, brows like green ink, lips like spring cherries, eyes like spring water.
A graceful figure and long, dark hair that stirred the heart.
His blindness only added a hint of vulnerability to his beauty. He was truly a beauty capable of bringing a kingdom to its knees.

Yu Wanyue became a sacrifice offered by his father to sue for peace, and was presented to the Crown Prince of Great Heng.
But no one had told him the Crown Prince was a twin.
The elder brother was a mastermind of court intrigue, and the younger was a fierce general on the frontier.
After seven days of unbroken favor, Yu Wanyue was worn out by the elder brother until he begged for mercy.
He staggered out, only to be caught by the younger brother and pulled onto a horse, then carried back.
The horse tossed him about as the beauty wept. The silver bells around his ankles became the most heart-stirring music on the entire street.
The fierce young general from the military camp was even harder for Yu Wanyue to handle. At last, he found a chance to escape and seek help from the refined, scholarly elder brother.
But the one waiting for him in the room was both brothers.
Yu Wanyue turned toward the Crown Prince, timidly calling, "H-husband..."
His soft, dependent voice made the younger brother green with jealousy.
"Poor Yue'er." The younger brother pulled him into his arms. The sound of his armor coming off plucked at Yu Wanyue's taut heartstrings. "Did you really think my elder brother would be any easier to deal with than me?"
That night, the brothers of Great Heng, who could even share the throne, nearly came to blows over which one Yu Wanyue favored more.
