Yu Shuhua is the legitimate daughter of the Yu family, whose patriarch is the Minister of Personnel. Her life should have been smooth sailing.
But misled by her stepmother, she marries Crown Prince Yan Qi and becomes his pawn in the struggle for power. Her younger sister enters the palace and rises to become empress. Only then does Shuhua realize she has loved the wrong man all her life.
Her beauty ruined, she dies in the cold palace. Gu Zong, the man she loves, cuts down everyone in a crazed fury with his longsword, then wastes away and dies with her body in his arms.
Reborn before her coming-of-age ceremony, Yu Shuhua refuses to be anyone's pawn again.
She will stay by Gu Zong's side and fulfill the love they never got to share in their previous life.
[A decisive young prince × a fierce, untamed daughter of the Minister of Personnel]
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the past repeats itself. Gu Zong saves Yu Shuhua's life, and she takes his hand, meeting his smiling gaze.
"My lord, if you take my hand, you'll have to register our marriage with the imperial clan, send eight bearers with a bridal sedan, and marry me properly."
Gu Zong's teasing smile fades. With all the conviction of his life, he says, "All right. I'll marry you."
On their wedding night, he arrives with a chill clinging to him, the wedding candles casting a warm red glow over his gentle face.
He carefully lifts the red veil from her face and kisses her sleeping eyes.
"Shuhua, my life was meant to be incomplete, but you gave it color."
