He is the son of Prince Huai, a ruthless, bloodthirsty schemer who will stop at nothing to claim the splendid empire.
He is a young swordsman, dashing and carefree, who wants nothing more than a peaceful life.
And she, carrying a deadly poison within her, loves and hates fiercely and is loyal to the end. To her, the world is nothing but a reflection on water or in a mirror, a dazzling dream soon gone.
When she was three, she left the palace with her mother to seek a doctor, but they were separated along the way. She was lost among the common folk for ten whole years. Through those years of chaos, she fought to survive, mastering martial arts and every means of making a living as she roamed the martial world, free and unrestrained.
Ten years later, she met him and eventually returned to the imperial palace. From then on, she was doomed.
Time passed, and five more years of turmoil swept through the martial world. She saw royal siblings slaughter one another, and saw how mercilessly he treated her, all to bring peace to the land.
The cold poison invaded her body, rivers of blood flowed, and her country and family were destroyed. She fled alone for her life.
At that moment, only he treated her gently, raising his proud sword for her across the land. Only her lifelong friends would risk their lives to help her and protect her.
Her life was tossed by storms. She was wanted by Great Yan, entered the imperial palace of Great Zhou, mastered peerless martial arts, was poisoned with a strange toxin, and was hunted by sects and countries alike... Yet she sought neither fame nor power over the world, neither mastery of martial arts nor supremacy in the martial world. All she wanted was someone who would laugh and cry for her, someone who would be consumed by love for her.
