[Blurb]

Qing Xiao is dazzling and unruly, sweet or spicy, with the face of the nation's first love. She's famous in the industry for her acting skills, and became a sensation thanks to an “anonymous screenplay,” a role that made her a legend. The mole on the tip of her nose has even been hailed as the most alluring mole in the world.

Luo Yanshen is a legendary musician and the head of the Luo family, the most powerful family in Jingbei. He has a devastatingly handsome face and wears a string of black Buddhist prayer beads around his wrist, but he's never merciful in his dealings. A lofty flower who keeps to himself, he has never been involved in romance.

In the eyes of fans, Luo Yanshen and Qing Xiao have nothing to do with each other. No matter how much the entertainment gossip rags make up, no one believes them.

Until a video featuring Luo Yanshen's voice went viral.

In the dim light, a blushing, bashful woman is pinned in a corner. A man's slender hands carefully cradle her head as he kisses the bewitching mole on the tip of her nose. Their kiss ends, only to turn into an intimate French kiss.

Only after a long while does the man let go. He looks even more pitiful than the woman with tears in her eyes, and says hoarsely, “Baby, isn't having one stand-in of mine enough for you?”

A proud knight willingly becomes his princess's devoted servant. A long-planned encounter is about to begin.

He lures her into the role, and she gets too deeply into character.

Everyone: !!!!!!!!!!!!!??????!!?

The man is so handsome he looks like a deity. His head is bowed, and his neck and abs are covered in crisscrossing red marks. A fine ring of teeth marks circles his collarbone. His long, strong fingers gently hold the woman's chin, while his other hand rests on her silk nightgown. Leaning in, he tenderly kisses the eyes and brows of the woman pressed close against him.

Intimate, deeply affectionate.

As everyone tries to guess who the man in the photo is, the ring on his left ring finger gives him away.

In an instant, everyone's gaze turns to Jin Baici.
