Shen Yun is the Liang Dynasty's pampered and powerful eldest princess, renowned for her beauty, gentleness, and passion.
She believes there is no man in the world she can't win over.
The first time she sees Lin Zhixing at the Qionglin Banquet, she knows she wants him.
But Lin Zhixing is an upright man of principle, unmoved by power.
The princess pursues him in every way, but cannot win his heart.
At their first meeting, the young man wears a plain robe, his expression cool. He bows and says, "I am unworthy of Your Highness's favor. I hope you will choose a more suitable match."
Later, the young man steps in front of a carriage, his refined brows drawn tight as he says coldly, "If Your Highness is choosing him, you might as well choose me."
Later still, he bends beneath her luxurious skirts, lowers his eyes to kiss her jade-white fingertips, and says in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness is peerlessly graceful. I am willing to be your servant and devote myself to your every need."
