Pei Nanheng is a princess of Nanzhao, but she was born under an ill-starred fate and is said to bring misfortune to her father and mother. Everyone despises her, and she is sent to grow up all alone in a small border town.
When she returns to Tailing at seventeen, she falls in love with Xu Qianshu, the young lord of the Beidou Palace, who has saved her three times.
To repay him, she sends Xu Qianshu gifts, but he returns them unopened.
At a banquet, she tries to talk to Xu Qianshu, but his manner is cold as ice.
During a ball-tossing ceremony to choose a husband, the ball accidentally lands in Xu Qianshu's arms. He crushes it to dust in front of everyone.
When Nanzhao falls, Pei Nanheng watches this high and mighty divine official remain unmoved, and her love for him dies completely.
Three years later, the Demon Clan unifies the Three Realms. Xu Qianshu, fallen into the demonic path, has spent years searching for Pei Nanheng. At a banquet, he sees her sitting beside his sworn enemy, intimately close.
He sends someone to deliver a congratulatory gift to Pei Nanheng. She accepts it, then casually gives it to someone else.
He pretends to be injured, looking pitiful, but Pei Nanheng only cares about someone else and acts as if he doesn't exist.
He asks Pei Nanheng to go out with him, but she would rather go to sleep than accept.
Unwilling to give up, Xu Qianshu keeps her trapped by his side. Looking at her stubborn, distant gaze, he asks sadly, "Didn't you used to like me?"
Pei Nanheng smiles without a trace of feeling. "I've long forgotten the past. The Demon Lord should let it go too."
The male lead suffers in his pursuit of his wife. The male lead will not change.
Both leads are virgins, happy ending.
Theme: Love deserves to be taken seriously.
