Zhou Yibei was elegant and refined, with an ethereal grace all her own. Her skin was delicate, her beautiful eyes lively, and a smile graced her peach-blossom cheeks. Her breath was as fragrant as an orchid, and she was so gentle and lovable she defied description. She was the true princess of Beijing's elite circles, the Zhou family's only daughter, the darling of the capital's wealthy young heirs, and the apple of Xu Yanli's eye.
People often remarked that although Zhou Yibei was frail, she was blessed with good looks and surrounded by friends who granted her every wish, as well as Xu Yanli, who protected her at every turn and treated her with unwavering tenderness.
When Zhou Yibei was ten, she and Qi Sheng, the Qi family's third young master, accidentally stumbled into a drug den. She took the dose meant for him, and from then on, the Zhou family of northern Beijing, the Qi family of the south, and the Xu family of the west were one big family.
