In her previous life, Lin Zi fell from a pampered princess to a remnant of the former dynasty. When the new emperor summoned her to his bedchamber, she refused and threatened to kill herself, thinking day and night of escaping the deep palace.
Later, she accidentally stumbled into the military tent of Prince Ding'an, Lu Yan.
The man, clad in silver armor, raised a cup of fragrant tea and smiled with wild, radiant eyes. "Little girl, the army is no place for fun."
In the end, she was still too inexperienced in the ways of the world. One glance was all it took for her to give him her heart.
Their romantic affair reached the new emperor's ears. In a fit of rage, he slaughtered everyone in Prince Ding'an's residence and spared not even Lin Zi.
Reborn on the night she escaped the palace, she wanted him to be safe and well in this life, so Lin Zi went straight to the new emperor's bedchamber.
In the quiet of night, the bedchamber glowed with red candles and warmth from incense. She knelt and confessed her guilt, willing to enter the imperial harem.
At last, a figure slowly emerged from behind the crystal curtain.
"I grant your wish."
Before her astonished eyes, Lu Yan's lips curved into that same bewitching smile.
Lu Yan remembered that the little girl wore a thin chain around her right ankle, with a bell hanging from it. It rang softly with every step, a sound sweeter than the clash of blades.
At their first meeting, that bell had set his heart trembling and stirred his love, bit by bit.
Having lived through it all again, he thought, he wanted to hear that silver bell beside him every night.
Since he had won this realm with his own hands, why should he yield the throne to someone else?
In this life, why not become her king himself?
