A small jade pendant shattered to protect its owner.
As a result, time and space warped around the pendant's owner. She dreamed of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and met the fated man who seemed nearly perfect in the eyes of outsiders.
Helan Buqing: a man of heavenly beauty and peerless martial prowess, once the youngest legend in the martial world, and now the notorious master of the Jiuxiao Palace.
Ying Li: a cheerful, frank young man full of warmth. He's a naturally endearing, adorably clueless receiver who only gets more so as he grows up. He owns almost nothing, yet has a strange charm that makes people fall for him without even realizing it.
"Beautiful man, could you stop grabbing onto me? Look, I'm not as good-looking as you, I'm not as capable as you, I don't know any martial arts, and I have no schemes... What on earth could make someone as powerful as you, who can turn the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other, take an interest in me?"
"I like that you can't do anything. That way I can hold you securely in my arms without worrying that you'll slip away when I'm not looking."
"Beautiful man, you still can't let go of everything you have, can you? Your money, power, and status..."
"Li, remember this. Everything I have, my money, power, and status... belongs to the title of 'Palace Master.' Only you, Ying Li, belong to me, Helan Buqing."
"Then where have you put me now?"
"If I died... Li, would your heart ache?"
"Yes... I'd die with you. I've entrusted the rest of my life to you. If you die, what's the point of me staying alive? It'd be better to die on the same day. Maybe then..."
"Enough! Since you've given me your body and soul, how could I not hold my beloved in the very center of my heart?"
