Before she was reborn, Lin Li spent one night with Jing Zhi, King of Hanhai, ruining her reputation. Left all alone, with no family still alive, she was imprisoned in the palace by Xiao Cheng. Later, she died by suicide while trying to save Jing Zhi.
After being reborn, she escapes the fate laid out for her and she and Jing Zhi survive one crisis after another.
All Lin Li wants in this life is to stay by her parents' side and live a quiet, ordinary life. But who could have guessed that this prince would be afflicted with Frostbane?
Only her blood, which carries the medicinal properties of the Blood Kite Flower, can cure him. He needs it once a month for a year.
After Jing Zhi's many schemes, Lin Li is forced to agree.
But... why does she feel this prince isn't quite the same as she remembers? What happened to the gentleman who was as refined as jade?
After taking his medicine, he always sneaks into her bed to sleep beside her, claiming it's to cultivate his character and preserve his health?
He keeps staring at her for no apparent reason, teasing her like a lecher and saying he simply admires beautiful women?
On the night of the final dose, just as she's about to enter the palace and become queen, the prince sneaks into her bed again.
Then he whispers in her ear: You still owe me a child.
