Blurb:
After returning to the palace, Jiu Fang Huanning could have anything she wanted. There was almost nothing in the world beyond her reach.
Except for Bai Cang, the Imperial Preceptor of the Xuyu Temple, an immortal whose clear bearing was like the moon.
She had given her heart to the moon, but the moon hung high above and shone on everyone but her.
No matter. She liked forcing the issue: "If the moon won't shine on me, I'll hunt it down myself."
Sooner or later, she would pluck that moonlight and have it shine on her alone.

Bai Cang was noble in character, upright and principled, an exceptional Imperial Preceptor who stood apart from the world.
That was until he met Princess Le'an, who had been brought back from among the common folk.
He saw Jiu Fang Huanning entangled with her personal guard, then turning around to spend a romantic evening with a hostage prince from an enemy state. At the same time, she flirted with him, sending a verse of lovesick poetry or a suggestive song to Xuyu Temple every day and boldly professing her love.
She was utterly reckless, wanton, and without a shred of propriety.
No matter how much he taught her about manners and shame, it did no good.
Later, Jiu Fang Huanning stole her own sister's match and took her place, marrying into the enemy state to secure peace.
But on the eve of the marriage, Jiu Fang Huanning vanished without a trace.
At Xuyu Temple, fragrance filled the secret chamber.
The temple's leader, usually as calm as a still well, was consumed by jealousy, no longer serene or composed in the slightest.
"How can you take back what you said? Princess, have you forgotten those words of ardent affection?"
Bai Cang's eyes darkened. His hand stroked her spine as he pressed close to her temple, reciting again and again the love poems she had written him long ago.
