Next novel: Meeting a Lamp in the Deep Night, historical GB Wei and Beiliang had been locked in bitter warfare for years. After Beiliang was defeated, it sent its prince, Helan Xuan, to Wei as a hostage. Helan Xuan was strikingly beautiful and delicate, even prettier than most women. In an enemy nation, he was like a lamb among wolves. People from every walk of life bullied and coveted him, treating him like a plaything. He fought back with all his might, clinging to the last shred of his dignity. Yet those dark, hopeless days seemed endless. At last, with nowhere left to turn, Helan Xuan prepared to take his own life with a knife. Princess Xiao Sui appeared like a heavenly savior, grabbing his hand and firmly shielding him behind her. Before, he had wanted to live as a person, to retain his human dignity. Now, he would do anything as long as he could stay by Xiao Sui's side. But Xiao Sui was always polite and distant toward him. He didn't understand why, until someone "enlightened" him. In an instant, his heart was so full of grievance it nearly curdled into pus and blood. Late at night, Helan Xuan summoned his courage and clutched Xiao Sui's sleeve. His voice was soft and trembling. "Your Highness, believe me. I'm not dirty. I've always kept myself pure."

She didn't believe it. So when Helan Xuan escaped back to Beiliang and was enthroned as its new emperor, Xiao Sui's face burned, as though she'd been slapped more than a dozen times. She finally realized that Helan Xuan's gentleness and innocence were all an act. In truth, he was more calculating, treacherous, and cunning than anyone. She needed to see Helan Xuan anew and regard him as a true enemy. Yet months later, this "enemy" came to Wei as an envoy in person and presented a letter from his state, declaring his wish to forge an alliance through marriage with Wei and never take up arms against it again. Facing him again, Xiao Sui was overcome by mixed feelings. She instinctively tried to avoid him, but Helan Xuan caught hold of her and took the initiative to remove his loose outer robe, revealing his round belly. Helan Xuan's eyes brimmed with tears, his expression heart-rending. "Your Highness, I didn't lie to you. I'm really pregnant." Xiao Sui stared at this forbidden and seductive sight, so shocked she couldn't speak. Theme: Seek hope in adversity
