In the sixth year of Yuanhe, the Qin family was framed and thrown into prison. To protect her family, Qin Ling used her beauty to submit to Pei Jinghe.
On the surface, Qin Ling was obedient and meek, but in reality, she was plotting to flee the capital. She secretly did business in the city and won everyone's admiration. What she never expected was that the powerful, high-handed chancellor would fall in love with her for real.
Within the palace walls, Qin Ling was pinned in a corner, unable to move. The man before her fixed her with a sharp gaze and said, "A Ling, what's so good about that Gu fellow?"
Pei Jinghe had spent his whole life striving and scheming. When he was young, he had seen those bright eyes. Who could have known that when they met again years later, she would walk right into his heart, carrying a trace of stubbornness? Pei Jinghe was willing to lose himself in her.
In the ninth year of Yuanhe, beneath a cloudless sky, the man had relinquished his power and stood in the street, smiling as he waited for Qin Ling. His words drifted on the breeze: "Come home with me."
