Blurb:

Long Kexian won a decisive victory at Chumen and was entrusted with guarding the frontier. It should have been a source of glory for her family, but instead she was branded a regicide and a traitor to the realm. At court, they denounced her while fearing the elite troops under her command.

Far from the center of the storm, she chose a warm spring day with a gentle breeze and headed south to Kanxi Harbor.

There, she bought a man with a gold bead.

He was handsome, with striking features and a graceful figure, both beautiful and sharp. He'd fallen on hard times somewhere, but luckily, he had landed in her hands.

At first, he was obedient and accommodating. He could cook and sew, and swallowed every grievance.

Apart from being a libertine, he had nothing wrong with him.

As Long Kexian looked at the scandalous album, the nine-stranded rope soaked in oil, and the whole jar of honey smeared over his shoulders and neck, then heard that husky voice, her face flushed red.

Later, when Long Kexian was surrounded by warships, she finally realized he hadn't fallen on hard times at all. He'd planned this from the start. He'd come for her.

A Le, the uncrowned king of the Wuming Sea.

The rumors say:

"He's a devil who stirs up trouble everywhere. No one has seen him, but his power reaches across the sea. Some say he's beautiful, others say he has fangs. If there's one thing they all agree on..."

"They say he likes women, the pretty kind. His ship bears the image of a huge black dragon, with the reflection of a beauty in its eyes."

A Le raised Long Kexian by hand. He never imagined that one day he would fall into the snare he'd woven himself, getting deeper and deeper in over his head.

#Childhood: Staring each other down, walking hand in hand to school, fighting and brawling, bickering and clinging to each other;

#Adolescence: "She has me in her heart. She can't let me go (slowly spiraling)... In that case, surely we'll be in love before long!"

#Adulthood: The good news is that he's successfully convinced himself she's in love with him. The bad news is that she's lost her memory, so he takes on a false identity and starts pursuing her openly, determined to make up for all the fun he missed out on before.
