The first time Nan Mi saw Geng Ci,
she peered through the gaps between her elder brother's fingers as he shielded her eyes,
and watched Geng Ci, dressed in white, reduce that person to ashes without so much as blinking.
·
Geng Ci had long heard that
the little princess was weak and unable to cultivate spiritual power.
Yet she had been doted on and pampered by the Divine Lord as she grew up.
So why was she always so timid and frightened whenever she saw him?

Nan Mi thought she could only ever be a princess.
A princess, after all, spent her days in the inner palace, planting flowers and embroidering, living a life of luxury and comfort.
But to change her fate of being unable to cultivate spiritual power, she went to Tushan, met an immortal, and saw the mortal world.
From then on, she could no longer be a proper princess.
·
Geng Ci thought he would always hold a high position, serving as the Divine Lord's blade.
The Outcast, second only to one and above all others.
But on his second journey north, he escorted the princess.
And so he became part of the game.
He thought it was because he had escorted the princess, changed his appearance, and thus become part of the game.
He never imagined he had been caught in it all along.
