Originally titled Kidnapped a Blind Man
[Greedy chivalrous thief × fallen general]
[Wild Grass × Empty Mountain]
When Lu You was eight, she was abandoned at Qingfeng Stockade. From then on, she went by A Qi and became a child of the wilderness.
She thought she would stay at Qingfeng Stockade for a long time, until her first time “robbing and killing” landed her a handsome blind man.
He said he was looking for a priceless family heirloom and would head to the capital once he found it.
Priceless? The capital? Each one was irresistible to A Qi.
She needed money to pay for her best friend’s treatment, and she wanted even more to go to the capital and search for answers about why she’d been abandoned.
The handsome man gave A Qi a family jade pendant as a deposit and said, “Find what I’m looking for, and I’ll give you a thousand taels of silver.”
A Qi agreed to be his eyes. She had it all figured out: once she’d earned enough, she’d leave at once.
Only after leaving the stockade did she realize she’d boarded a pirate ship. The handsome man’s name was fake, his identity was fake, and the thing he wanted wasn’t a family heirloom at all.
Was it too late to escape now?

Song Lin had an important mission and had never given romance a thought, until he disobeyed orders and fled, only to be tricked by a little thief who shouted, “If you want to pass this way, leave your toll money!”
When he woke up, Song Lin was blind. With no other choice, he latched onto A Qi, kept her with money, and took her along on his journey.
But Song Lin soon found that A Qi didn’t tell the truth very often, either. Her name was fake, and so was her past.
He didn’t call her out.
She lied, and he pretended to believe her.
My heart had yet to stir, but the wind was already blowing, scattering empty blossoms and revealing who I am.
Someone offered a sky-high price for A Qi’s betrayal, and Song Lin braced himself to be hurt.
He only asked, “Is your heart true?”
