Shen Zhiyao had recently been having the same dream over and over.
In it was a stunning young man with black hair and exquisitely delicate features. An uncanny pattern was tattooed around his left eye, and he had the worst temper, constantly referring to himself as "this sovereign."
Since she was in his dream, Shen Zhiyao dared to do anything.
She praised his looks, teased him until he got angry, and sometimes even sneaked a touch when he wasn't looking.
After all, once she woke up, who would remember whom?
What she didn't know was that on the other side of the dream, Xinghun, the Yin-Yang School's Left Guardian, was growing increasingly irritated by this inexplicable disturbance in his spiritual consciousness.
Until one night, she casually drew a talisman to clear the mind.
At last, the young man took an interest in her.
For countless nights thereafter, they met across a thousand years. They argued over talisman arts and chatted over a game of Go, moving from mutual suspicion to growing familiarity.
Shen Zhiyao fell for him first.
But even the sweetest dream must end.
One night, she could no longer see him.
So the young woman who once hadn't even known his name pored over the talisman books her grandmother had left behind and staked everything on crossing a thousand years.
She found herself stranded in a foreign land without a penny. By a twist of fate, she took the place of a runaway princess and was married off to Sang Hai.
On their wedding night, the red candles flickered.
Xinghun, who had never cared about the marriage, casually lifted the bride's veil.
Their eyes met.
For the first time, he showed unmistakable shock.
As she gazed at the face she'd seen countless times in her dreams, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
"I've finally found you."
But Shen Zhiyao soon discovered that the real Xinghun was far more dangerous than the one in her dreams.
He was the lofty Left Guardian of the Yin-Yang School, the Qin Empire's imperial protector, cold, proud, ruthless, and impossible to read.
And she had become his wife.
In her dreams, she had recklessly provoked him, knowing he couldn't hurt her.
Now that she was awake, she would spend the rest of her life slowly learning to understand him.
