Song Fuhuan was once the envy of all, a young lady from a distinguished family. Then, overnight, her family was destroyed, her brother exiled, and her parents thrown in prison.
She was left blind, alone, and helpless.
Fortunately, though Fuhuan was blind, her beauty was truly breathtaking. Before long, Lin Xianting, who claimed to have admired her for years, bought her freedom and kept her in his private residence.
Lin Xianting indulged her in every way, showering her with jewels and treasures, fine foods and silks.
But Fuhuan learned that he was nothing but a useless, spoiled young master. How could he possibly be of use to her?
That night, as their passion stretched on, Lin Xianting caught her by the ankle and placed a tender kiss upon it. "You're mine."
Yet as soon as he left the capital, Fuhuan attached herself to Lord Liang of the Palace Front Division.
Her enemies were powerful. To save her parents and brother, she had no choice but to use everything at her disposal, even herself.
But Lord Liang seemed to suffer from a hidden ailment. He was cold and distant, and after taking her in, he paid her no attention. Fuhuan couldn't find a way to get close to him and was frantic with worry.
What Lord Liang didn't know was that a mysterious and important guest who often visited his home had been enticing her with the promise of helping her get revenge.
Fuhuan was so desperate that she finally agreed.
The audacious guest smuggled her out of the Liang residence, treated her blindness, settled her family, and personally killed her enemies.
Fuhuan felt exhilarated, but also terrified.
She had a feeling... she'd gotten involved with someone extraordinary.
With her family avenged, the guest revealed that he wanted to marry her, and that he was completely sincere.
But Fuhuan thought a fleeting affair shouldn't last. The day her sight returned, she packed her things and prepared to escape.
Just as she climbed onto the wall, she heard the familiar voice of that guest: "Seize her."
Fuhuan turned around and saw Lord Liang respectfully answer the guest, like a subordinate.
And the jade pendant that had gone missing on the night she and Lin Xianting consummated their marriage was clearly hanging from the guest's waist.
The person she'd been sneaking around with right under Lord Liang's nose was Lin Xianting, the man she'd abandoned.
After all her scheming, she had still fallen into his hands.
Lin Xianting was the emperor's ruthless enforcer, a man feared by every court official. He toyed with power, was treacherous and unpredictable, and was impossible to read.
Only his closest subordinates knew of his peculiar obsession: he loved watching Song Fuhuan, the young lady from a noble family.
When Fuhuan fell into the pleasure quarters, Lin Xianting concealed his identity and rescued her at once. He treasured her like a rare jewel and rejoiced in his good fortune.
But it wasn't long before he realized that, though she humored him at every turn, she didn't take him seriously at all.
Later, she even tried to have an affair.
After his anger subsided, Lin Xianting decided to play along.
So be it. Let her.
If she likes climbing over walls, he'll be the wall.
