To Wei Chenjing, the Third Princess was the bright moon in his heart, untouched by dust, beyond anyone's reach.
Yet he had the audacity to hide that moon away.

After the princess disappeared, the emperor entrusted Wei Chenjing with finding her.
By day, Wei Chenjing searched with all his might. At night, he returned to his residence and served the princess with devoted reverence. He was a completely different person in public and in private.
Little did he know that this tiny manor could never keep Zhao Zhiyu confined. While Wei Chenjing was out during the day, she pretended to be unwell and stayed in her room, refusing to let anyone wait on her.
In truth, she had slipped out long ago.
At night, she resumed her role as a caged songbird, watching a man like Wei Chenjing, who had slaughtered countless people, kneel before her and bow his head in submission, as though he could not live without her.

Later, Wei Chenjing's deeds were exposed before his friend, the Fourth Prince, who sent someone to invite the Third Princess back to the palace.
Zhao Zhiyu spoke to the messenger alone. "I chose to stay here. I don't want to leave."
She hadn't had enough fun yet. How could she leave?
Wei Chenjing worried for one day, then two... Several days passed, and the princess still hadn't left.
Then, one night, the princess had a nightmare. She whimpered in her sleep, her red lips calling his name.
He sat beside her bed. His heart shuddered as he heard her. He brushed the tears from the corner of the princess's eye with his fingertip and said in an unusually hoarse voice, "Your Highness, I'm here."
His aim had been achieved. The princess had him in her heart.
