Lan Muxi, the prefect's daughter, went with her mother to offer incense. On the way, a rogue started following and harassing her.
When she got out of the carriage, the rogue stared at her with burning eyes, his gaze glued to her without restraint. His brazen intensity made Lan Muxi blush and set her heart racing with alarm.
Knowing the household servants were behind her, she flew into a rage and stepped forward to slap him. Her palm stung red, but the rogue only grinned, showing a row of bright white teeth, with not the slightest hint of anger.
A few days later, chaos engulfed the land. The city fell, and her father, the prefect, was killed by the rebel army.
Lan Muxi, once a pampered young lady, fell into the dust overnight and fled in panic among a tide of refugees.
On the way, in the hills, she suddenly saw a mounted soldier in battle armor approaching. The rider's gaze was sharp as a torch, and it locked onto her through the chaotic crowd. His eyes still burned with the same intensity as before.
He reined in his horse before her. His voice was rough, but carried a familiar smile. "Miss, ever since you slapped me, I haven't dared wash this side of my face."
