Before her marriage, Jiang Yi was one of the capital's two great beauties, blessed with both beauty and talent. After marriage, she and her husband treated each other with respect, and their household was harmonious.
In the eyes of outsiders, her life had been smooth sailing.
Only Jiang Yi knew their marriage was a lie. Her husband had someone else in his heart, his moonlight. After years of careful effort, he had plucked that moon from its branch and placed her in a gilded cage. The harmony in their household was a joke.
Jiang Yi endured it for a long time.
One day, as magpies perched on the branches, her husband's moonlight walked into the house with a radiant smile and mocked her.
Her husband simply watched with a quiet smile.
Jiang Yi, however, was happy. On the eve of their divorce, her own moonlight had returned, too. Now that both of their moonlights were back, what point was there in continuing this marriage in name only? She decided to set him free, and herself as well.
"Divorce me. I'm willing to give up my place."
At that moment, Jiang Yi's moonlight was waiting for her outside the door.
She never expected her usually domineering, cold husband to grab her wrist and say, "A Yi, don't be difficult. He's just a dog. Play with him if you like, but how could you take him seriously?"

Even though Luo Jin knew Jiang Yi had always kept in touch with her old lover, he had never considered letting her go. Even as a pair of bitter enemies, they were meant to be together.
But later, when Jiang Yi questioned him with a deathly pale face, he realized that he could bear anything better than losing her to death. If someone had to face the consequences, he wanted Jiang Yi to be free forever.
