If I exist to bring nations to their knees with my beauty, then I would rather conquer the world for you.
If I exist to conquer the world for you, then I would rather forget you for the sake of the world.
If I exist to forget you, then I would rather betray the world and bring nations to their knees with my beauty.
Nangong Fu, Palace Master of Nangong, is the most beautiful man in the world and the Demon Lord feared by all.
The love she has long yearned for is Beiqiu Yin, the ninth prince of the Kingdom of Beiqiu, whose tender affection swept into her heart.
If in this life she truly falls in love with two men, yet cannot give herself fully to either...
At her left is the one in her heart: Nangong Fu. “Yu Meiren, you branded a cinnabar mark on my chest. Its searing pain pierces my heart. I want you to spend your whole life making it up to me.”
At her right is the man she once loved: Beiqiu Yin. “Yu Meiren, you won a kingdom for me, so I’ll turn it into a golden cage and keep you there for the rest of your life.”
She looks back, smiling faintly, her brows furrowed in sorrow. Her delicate lips part: “Would you give me your word that you’ll devote your lives to me, and me alone?”
They stare at her in astonishment, then stop in their tracks.
If a kingdom is embroidered with lotus flowers upon a pillow, then where is she, a lone spirit from another world, meant to go?
