Jiang Yixiao is a famously ditzy beauty in the capital. She has no interest in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but is strangely devoted to the mystic arts, which she seems to know as if she hadn't forgotten them from a past life.
Her family indulges and protects her, keeping her from causing trouble for anyone else. But one day, when her father is demoted, she no longer has the fine clothes and food she once enjoyed.
Jiang Yixiao is furious and decides to teach the culprit a lesson: Xie Xuanjing, heir to the Prince of Zhenbei, who looks down on everyone and is coldly arrogant.
She starts engineering frequent chance encounters, but that awful young lord looks at her as if she's an idiot!
Fortunately, her experiment is a huge success: she creates an empathy doll linked to Xie Xuanjing.
Heh, now she can mold this little Xie Xuanjing however she likes, and he won't even know who's behind it.
.
After feeling a woman's soft, fragrant fingers yet again, and dreaming of that pretty fool once more, Xie Xuanjing decides to catch her himself.
Jiang Yixiao is grabbed by the back of her collar. Trembling, she protests indignantly, “How can you say it was me? I don't know how to make empathy dolls!”
Xie Xuanjing: …You little fool. I haven't even said anything, and you've already given yourself away.
He scoffs. “You didn't know that every time you use it, I dream about you, the culprit?”
“Now make me an empathy doll. And give it to me.”
