A cross-dressing beauty makes his home in a brothel, and a young nobleman from Wuling falls in love.
They each serve their own side, loving and fighting each other, until faking his death opens the door to a whole new life.
Six years ago, Ji Ling, a young man from Wuling, rescued the girl Bo Yan when some thugs cornered her against a wall.
Six years later, Bo Yan, a courtesan of Zhangtai, rescued Ji Ling when he was being hunted.
Meeting Bo Yan was pure chance. Ji Ling never expected that the innocent girl he had known all those years ago would end up in the pleasure quarter.
Ji Ling wanted to take Bo Yan away, but Bo Yan refused.
So Ji Ling began visiting her every few days. He taught her to read and wield a sword, while Bo Yan taught him to play the qin and dance.
The day Bo Yan won the title of Flower Queen, wealthy spectators from every walk of life offered fortunes for her first night. Ji Ling was among them, of course.
For Bo Yan, Ji Ling was even willing to offend a royal favorite.
That was also the day Ji Ling discovered Bo Yan's true identity.
Ji Ling gently caressed Bo Yan's delicate cheek and smiled warmly. "So, you're a man."
Bo Yan straddled Ji Ling's lap. "That's right, Master Ji. What are we to do now?"
Ji Ling smiled without a hint of embarrassment. "So what if you're a man? I like you for who you are. What does it matter whether you're a man or a woman?"
Bo Yan flirtatiously brushed back her long hair, her voice full of allure. "Then, what should we..."
Ji Ling's thumb glided over Bo Yan's lovely lips. "Whatever you want."
Bo Yan smiled softly. "Really?"
"Really."
Bo Yan blinked in disbelief. "You'd even let me top?"
Ji Ling's expression remained perfectly natural. "Sure. For you, anything goes."
