After being reborn and switching marriages with her older sister, Rong Chan realized something was off about her husband.

He only appeared at night and was nowhere to be seen during the day.

Rong Chan thought she'd married a ghost who couldn't face the sunlight.

Every night of passion left her swinging between surrender and clarity.

Then, at the Lantern Festival family banquet, the noble prince revered by all suddenly reached out and caught her by the waist.

As the sound of phoenix flutes rang out and lantern light shimmered, she saw the face beneath his mask.

From then on, her heart could never be calm again.

The day Xiao Jingzhen returned disguised as his deceased elder brother, his double life began.

By day, he was an elegant young gentleman, cool and self-possessed.

By night, he pulled open his collar, pretending to be a rough brute as he pinned her beneath the red canopy.

Everything was flawless.

And yet he fell for that woman.

The kitchen was hot and steamy. She warmed herself by the stove, filling the room with a milky scent that made his blood burn.

As she bent to wash clothes, her waist was as soft as flowing spring water, as if it might snap at any moment.

But in her sleep and in her dreams, she called only for his dead brother.

...How utterly ungrateful!

She dared treat him as a stand-in, so he was determined to make her fall in love with him.
