The Beginning of Humanity

Born into wealth, Zhong Lingyu and Chen Xuan never got to spend their lives as princesses.

Caught up in tangled histories and complicated ties, will they fall into darkness or rise to greatness?

To keep the pain from reaching anyone else is the greatest kindness in this world.

Gu Shen, a cool-headed yet passionate young man, upright and wholesome.

Lu Qinben, an entertainment-industry legend and an actor who became a star early on.

When they meet, they help one another shine and walk side by side.

It turns out that even if they aren’t perfect, even if they’re covered in thorns and sharp edges, they can still find the other piece of the puzzle that fits them perfectly.

...Her fiancé...

A marriage alliance between noble families, with undercurrents swirling beneath an icy river in the chill of early spring.

When it comes to love, truth and lies are hard to tell apart.

Fortunately, when she was sobbing uncontrollably, a young boy once made her a lifelong promise in his still-childish voice. He said, “When we grow up, will you be my bride?”

Heaven bestowed deep beauty: No matter how winding the road, it always leads back to him. The steady, flowing waters nourish Lingyu; when she finally blossoms, lofty mountains and flowing streams shelter the deep woods.

...The Herbal Couple’s Sweet Moments...

A talented young idol actor, and a middle school student no one has ever heard of.

They first meet at a Taoist temple. Her nine-section whip shoots through the air, but it doesn’t frighten him. Just a few words from him, however, are enough to make her a star.

Years later, when they meet again, he asks her, “What exactly are you trying to do?”

She smiles. “Make medicine. Herbs. Peace of mind.”

Worry-free sweetgrass: Sweetgrass was meant to bring freedom from worry, but what can it do when trapped in a cage? Is the herbal remedy medicine or poison, and will she find peace after reaching the summit?

Two couples and two storylines make up the whole tale.
