He is the Marquis of Pingyuan, a man with power over the entire court. The world knows only that he is peerlessly beautiful, never suspecting that he is a demon who clawed his way out of a living hell. He can be vile and shameless, utterly devoid of humanity, and willing to betray everyone. He will stop at nothing for revenge.
She is an ordinary palace maid with only six months left before she can leave the palace. Ten years of life in the palace have made her “deaf and blind,” indifferent to everything and focused only on her work. Others call her bloodless and unfeeling, incapable of knowing pain.
