Her father dotes on his concubine and neglects his wife, pursuing nothing but profit. Her mother's family has fallen into decline, and she spends her days with the Buddha. The favored concubine's backing is as firm as a rock, and she wields power like the lady of the house.
Her home is a den of wolves, every step a scheme. Yun Tian lives each day on tenterhooks, careful and uneasy.
In a single night, the political landscape shifts; in a single day, the realm descends into chaos. Her father sells his daughter for advancement, sending Yun Tian far away to Rongzhou to marry Prince Ning, Shen Heng.
Prince Ning Shen Heng is renowned and influential, with achievements so great they threaten the throne. Yun Tian is granted the title of Commandery Princess and given a prestigious status. But anyone with eyes can see that, no matter how beautiful she is, she is merely a pawn in this game of power, a drifting duckweed.
A priceless pearl and precious jade, now doomed to drift and gather dust.
Yun Tian, too, believes that her journey will be fraught with danger, with death all but certain.
Only later, beneath warm curtains, as he paints her brows with tender devotion, does she understand the obsessive, tangled affection in his eyes and the stubborn devotion he cannot put into words.

Reading Guide:
1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first.
2. The male lead has a slight change of heart, and spends the early chapters constantly eating his own words.
3. This story is set in an imaginary world. Everything serves the plot, so please don't overanalyze the details.
4. If fate brings us together, let's enjoy the journey; if not, let's part quietly. Please keep comments civil and don't be hostile. If you drop the story, there's no need to tell me. Personal attacks will bounce right back.
