Shen Yue Bai is a female shadow guard in the imperial palace.
She took poison to enter the service and usually crouches on the beams of the imperial study, listening to the emperor and the old eunuch plot to kill one person, then another.
At last, their butcher's knife is pointed at Prince Ling, Xie Jihuai.
Shen Yue Bai is ordered to pose as a physician and keep a close watch on Prince Ling.
Rumor has it Xie Jihuai is frail and sickly, panting after every few steps.
She thought this assignment would be a piece of cake.
After entering the residence, she discovers that Xie Jihuai is peerlessly beautiful. His eyes seem to hook her soul, and a sweet scent surrounds him.
Ah! He's irresistible. She can't help wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth.
But he's just a handsome man. She's always been good at keeping her desires in check.
Then one day, she wakes up to find the world has fallen apart. She's completely naked, on top of an equally naked Xie Jihuai.
She is about to pull back the covers when he wakes. His eyes and brows soften. "Physician Shen, you took advantage of me while drunk. I'm still a virgin, so you'll have to take responsibility for me!"
Shen Yue Bai is mortified. What a beast! She swears never to touch alcohol again.
Just as she and the prince are getting all lovey-dovey, the emperor issues a death order: she must take his life.
Shen Yue Bai promptly fakes her death and vanishes.
When they meet again, she sees the usually frail prince take down more than ten assassins with one hand.
Ah! Is this really her delicate prince who can't even take care of himself?
Later, after hearing the tragic news that the emperor has died, she gazes through tears at the man busily making love to her. Former Emperor, blame no one but Prince Ling. He's just too good at pretending.
What she doesn't know is that Xie Jihuai was already ready to welcome the beautiful female shadow guard his imperial brother had sent him.
[Reader's Note]
Clearheaded, clever female shadow guard x a scheming prince who plays the fool. Opposing sides, mutual push and pull.
