Qi Ning's father was the Grand Preceptor of the Jin Dynasty, and her elder sister was the Crown Princess. From the day she was born, Qi Ning was treasured like the apple of her family's eye.
To secure the emperor's favor, her father arranged for Qi Ning to enter the palace as a princess's companion.
In the palace, Qi Ning unwittingly helped Shen Lie, the least favored young prince, whom everyone bullied.
Little did she know that, in the cold of night, the boy would whisper her name over and over until it became a drop of honey in his heart.

Time passed, and the emperor died. To everyone's surprise, the most inconspicuous prince ascended the throne.
The current emperor, Shen Lie, had seized the throne by killing his brother. He was violent by nature and had once personally executed a treacherous official in court.
Qi Ning's family had become a bunch of power-hungry villains, and they were in grave danger of being exterminated to the ninth degree.
After careful consideration, Lord Qi secretly sent guards to escort Qi Ning out of the city in the dead of night.
But before the carriage reached the city gate, it was stopped. The man in imperial robes had personally left the palace to capture her.
He lifted the curtain and stroked the pale face of the little figure inside. "Sister, this whole realm belongs to me. Wherever you flee, you will still be mine."
Shen Lie dragged Qi Ning, who was already betrothed, back to the palace and coaxed her into staying by his side for the rest of her life.
By day, he was a mighty emperor. At night, he knelt on one knee at Qi Ning's feet, gazing at her in a lovestruck daze. "Sister, A Ning, please be kind to me."
