[Big-hearted, steadfast, wooden-hearted deity × unloved, ambitious, dark prince]
After losing her memory, Song Ruo became a gardener at the Prince of Ji'an's estate to make a living. At last, she had enough to eat.
Her days weren't exciting, but they were peaceful. Aside from listening to stories and watching plays, she spent her time looking for the family and friends she'd known before losing her memory.
Strangely, she could never find them, no matter how hard she tried.
Then one day, Pei Lian, the prince, who was usually so unpredictable, suddenly told her:
People could become family even without sharing blood. If they married, he would be her family from then on.
Song Ruo never expected a prince of his stature to take an interest in someone as lowly as her. From then on, she gave him her heart.
Their married life grew better and better. The prince, whose personality had once been awful, seemed to gradually change. He cared for her in every way and treated her with endless tenderness. She felt that although life sometimes brought disappointments, as long as he was with her, she could feel at ease. Gods, demons, and monsters had nothing to do with her.
She thought they could live happily ever after, but by chance, she learned that Pei Lian was only good to her because her scent could suppress his incurable headaches. He had treated her as a living medicinal remedy, and everything that had happened between them was nothing more than lies and an illusion.
Song Ruo fled in panic, only to be captured as a demon and drained of blood for alchemy.
And he was the only one who knew about her unusual constitution.
When her heart was utterly broken, the world changed color, and she finally remembered that she was a deity. But by then, she had completely lost faith in everything in the mortal world and returned to the divine palace.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Song Ruo sat in the center of the divine palace. She heard that the person kneeling reverently before her was exceptionally gifted and had endured hardships beyond what ordinary people could bear. He had fought through every obstacle to reach the far western edge of the world, all to become her divine attendant.
But the heart that had been still as a well suddenly trembled when Song Ruo saw her attendant's face.
The divine attendant was Pei Lian. That was the first surprise.
His eyes seethed with overwhelming hatred and fervor. That was the second.

Everyone said that Pei Lian, Prince of Ji'an, was scheming and ambitious.
Pei Lian didn't deny it.
He was indeed greedy and never satisfied.
He wanted the moon to shine on him alone. He yearned for a saint to have selfish desires.
[Reader's guide]
[1. The heroine always holds the higher position in terms of her true identity and emotional standing. The hero is a dark, obsessive romantic.]
[2. The hero suffers, both physically and emotionally. If you're uncomfortable with that, don't read.]
[3. The blurb is told from the heroine's perspective, but there's more to the story than meets the eye.]
