Su Yin was born into a distinguished family. Gentle and virtuous, she was the model for every noble young lady in the capital. But she had always kept a secret in her heart.
Every full moon, when she awoke the next morning, she would find several suggestive marks on her body. Her limbs would be weak and aching, and she would feel an indescribable sense of shame.
Yet she could remember nothing of what had happened the night before.
It had troubled her for a long time.
Fortunately, everything around her was peaceful and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Half a year later, the Su and Qin families arranged a match. Su Yin became engaged to the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel, and the two families agreed to hold the wedding after spring arrived.
At the same time, the young emperor Wei Qingchuan came of age. He selected noble young ladies to enter the palace and become empress, summoning every unmarried woman in the capital to the palace for the selection on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival's full moon.
The young ladies carefully prepared their talents, hoping to be chosen by the emperor.
That night, they were ushered into a pitch-black hall, full of anticipation. They couldn't see the emperor, or even a ghost.
Then a cool voice came from beside them. "Please step forward, ladies. I must touch each of your cheeks before I can decide on my final choice."
It turned out that Wei Qingchuan had once been gravely wounded and spent half a year recuperating at Grand Tutor Su's residence. On every full moon night, a woman would quietly appear in his tent, behaving boldly and doing everything she could to seduce him.
Whenever he thought of her, he was consumed by longing, nearly driven mad.
He swore he would find her.

Only after the palace banquet that night did Su Yin learn that she had spent a full moon night in the arms of a man, and that man was none other than the current emperor.
Horrified, she hurriedly packed her belongings and fled in the middle of the night.
To her surprise, the young emperor and her fiance, the future chancellor, cornered her in the rear garden at the same time and demanded that she take responsibility.
