Yao Yuru and Chu Jiashu grew up together as childhood sweethearts and naturally became husband and wife.
Chu Jiashu decided to travel to the capital to seek support from his main family branch, and Yao Yuru accompanied him.
But from the day she moved into the Chu residence, Yao Yuru was plagued by a string of strange dreams.
Each night, when darkness fell and all was silent, she would find herself in a bizarre, fantastical world.
There, a handsome man with the bearing of an elegant scholar stood tall, his presence extraordinary.
Night after night, they were passionately entwined, sharing the pleasures of the bridal chamber.
The dreams felt so real that Yao Yuru would often wake in the morning with tear tracks still wet on her cheeks.
The man in her dreams was always shrouded in a hazy mist, his true face impossible to make out.
Yet Yao Yuru could clearly feel his strong body and loving gaze.
It was a reality beyond the waking world, so vivid she could almost touch it.

As the Grand Tutor to the emperor, Chu Qingyou was not only the eldest legitimate son of the Chu family, but also its head.
Raised from childhood in the teachings of Confucianism, he was austere, free of desire, and scrupulously self-disciplined.
In his eyes, romance between men and women was as fleeting as a cloud passing overhead. Only a heart as still as water could accomplish great things.
Lately, however, Chu Qingyou had found himself falling into a strange dream again and again.
In the dream, a fairy, as if stepping straight out of a painting, drifted lightly down before him.
Deep in the dream, the fairy slowly shed her clothes and spent the night with him, making love to him night after night.
Each time he woke with a start, Chu Qingyou felt bewildered and confused.
How could he have such an absurd, indecent dream?
By chance, he encountered a collateral relative of the Chu family in the residence, along with the bashful wife standing beside him with her head lowered.
Chu Qingyou's heart suddenly tightened.
The collateral relative's wife looked exactly like the woman in his dreams.
The spirit in her eyes, the hint of stubbornness beneath her shyness,
all seemed to have stepped straight out of his dreams and come alive before him.
