The day they fell to the mortal realm, Wan An dragged the little demon from her sworn enemy clan into the water with her, and they both shattered to pieces.

Unexpectedly, when they entered the mortal world, neither soul was destroyed, but both of them lost their memories.

*

Wan An first met Su Jinjue in the mortal world at a flower banquet.

She danced gracefully to catch the Crown Prince's eye, and was just one step away from success when Su Yanjue smiled, put an arm around her waist, and asked the emperor for her right there in court.

The carefully plotted scheme she had devised with her former master came to an abrupt halt.

Ordered to enter his residence, she found the entire household a scene of absurdity. Su Jinjue lounged carelessly on a couch, holding a dancing girl in his arms, wine between his lips and a wicked smile on his face.

Wan An paused, then gave him a distant, proper salute. "Your Highness, Fifth Prince."

She kept to the rules and hoped that, given enough time, he would grow tired of her and forget her. But every time she returned from a secret meeting with her former master, she happened to run into him alone.

Then her love letter was intercepted, her former master was assassinated, and she was imprisoned in his arms like a bird in a cage. His tender peach-blossom eyes churned with waves vast enough to swallow the sky.

Staring into those eyes, she suddenly realized she could no longer escape.

Every so often, Wan An thought that Su Jinjue treated her rather well.

As red candles flickered and their shadows entwined, she sighed and clung sweetly to his broad shoulders.

But the first time they came together amid the soft fragrance of her skin, the person in the brocade bedcurtains suddenly dissolved into a blur.

Not long after she gave him her heart, she discovered a painting hidden in a secret compartment in his study.

The woman in the painting had eyes like autumn waters, and looked exactly like her.

The signature was the very answer to the mystery she had searched for in vain while her plan lay in limbo. At that moment, memories of her past life came flooding back.

Wan An froze for a long time, then gritted her teeth and glanced at the poisoned wine from Xiyuan on the desk.

*-=---^^★

At first, Su Jinjue was simply amused.

A mysterious dancing girl had appeared, and, by chance, she had a pair of eyes he had sketched countless times.

She was working for his imperial brother.

But he didn't think his brother deserved a beauty like her.

So he engineered a rift between them, helped her establish herself at court, and even risked his life to save her. At last, he won her heart.

But even the most careful plans can have a flaw.

That night, she came to bring him wine.

She didn't know Xiyuan's wine,

thinking only that it would lead him to ruin,

and indeed, it could lead him to ruin...

Su Jinjue glanced at the brimful cup of deer-antler wine, met her false smile, and concealed the knife beneath the quilt, amused.

The bed curtains fell, and their reflections turned in the mirror. One had eyes hiding a drunken moon, the other a smile rippling like spring mountains.

* Historical romance, fictional setting!! Both leads are virgins, happy ending, lots of tension, and plenty of sweetness!!

* There's more to the blurb than meets the eye, both leads have secret identities, and the male lead loves the female lead most of all!!

* The crazed former master has scenes with the female lead, but she stays chaste!

* The leads fall to the mortal realm, so this is listed under fantasy, though the fantasy elements are just background.

Theme: Keep the lamp of the heart burning, and justice will prevail
