The Runaway Princess's White Moonlight

Tao Zhi was the least cherished of the princesses. When chaos engulfed the land, she escaped the palace with the Shen family, who were traveling to the capital to visit relatives. She went with them to the misty, rainy Jiangnan region, where she assumed a new identity and became a maid in the Shen residence. She had never known a normal kind of love. All her life, she had sought possession, control, and conquest. The Shen family was the kind of family she had only ever seen in dreams: loving parents, warmhearted relatives, and a home full of happiness. And then there was Shen Geng, who was always insisting he wanted to be her big brother. She would do anything to protect that warmth. If the gods stood in her way, she would kill them; if the Buddhas stood in her way, she would kill them too. From maid to adopted daughter, she was like a greedy beast, wanting to seize ever more love. Family, friendship, and love. The years left Shen Geng by her side, a young man who adored her deeply and gave her the purest love in the world. Back then, she didn't yet know that she would one day have to pay for every wrong she had done, and that everything she desperately tried to hold on to would slip away like sand through her fingers, vanishing on the wind.
