One day, after waking from a dream, Zhu Qingzhao found herself transmigrated into a novel of misery as a minor character.
She thought she could stick to the original plot and watch the main characters from the sidelines, brewing wine from pine blossoms, making tea with spring water, and enjoying life as the sun climbed high.
Little did she know that the novel's second male lead, Jiang Muchen, had already set his sights on her. To him, she was prey.
He speculated about her, watched her, followed her, and wanted to keep her locked away.
Still unsatisfied, he wanted to control her every move, letting her go and reeling her back in like a kite.
Zhu Qingzhao wasn't afraid, and she didn't run. She had no interest in him, so she didn't care about his impure intentions. Without meaning to, she escaped his control time and again, turning the original plot upside down...
Everyone said Jiang Muchen was a cloud-capped spruce on a snowy mountain, born into the mortal world yet apart from it. He could make the clouds gather with one turn of his hand and the rain fall with the next, yet in truth, he knew nothing of love.
But after a devastating clash left both of them wounded, Zhu Qingzhao became the obsession that drove Jiang Muchen to seek the meaning of love.
Jiang Muchen had been trapped in this dull plot for too long. Again and again, he searched for a ray of light, a lifeline.
He longed for Zhu Qingzhao to help him break free of this predetermined path. He longed for her moon-bright eyes to envelop him completely...
Jiang Muchen wanted Zhu Qingzhao to willingly hate him.
Because hatred could linger year after year, impossible to erase.
Jiang Muchen also wanted Zhu Qingzhao to willingly fall in love with him.
Because even when the heart is knotted a thousand ways, love can never be severed.
He wanted both her hatred and her love.
He wanted her to hand over her entire "will" to him.
Only then could they be bound together for the long haul, entangled without end, never to part.
