She is the princess of Xia, born with Heaven's mandate and bearing the dragon vein of an entire nation. Her status is exalted, and her beauty and grace are peerless.
Yet no one knows that her father is cold and heartless, the Noble Consort is ruthless, her younger sister is malicious and spiteful, and her younger brother covets the crown prince's position...
He is the heir of Chu, blessed with godlike looks, a wealth of talent to govern the world, a serene disposition, and no equal under heaven.
Yet although he is the son of a royal household, he is cruelly marginalized and can only leave for another country, where he becomes a hostage.
In the palace, she laughs as she makes her way forward, treading carefully at every step. All she wants is to protect her young brother and help him ascend the supreme throne.
In a foreign land, he stirs up the political order. With a mind as intricate as a nine-curved, exquisite heart, he calculates people's intentions and the course of events, leaving nothing to chance and making no missteps in his plans. With a smile and a word, he commands the situation from afar and lays waste to a city a thousand miles away.
When he meets her, will he be a lamb walking into a tiger's jaws, or will they join forces as equals?
He offers her the empire as a betrothal gift and asks for her hand. He thinks it will be nothing more than a political transaction, but no one knows that he has stirred up turmoil and provoked war, sacrificing an entire nation and leaving corpses strewn across the land, all for the sake of telling her, “Yun Xi, from now on, I will protect you...”
The world says that the heir has schemed his way through everything, and may be plotting to seize the empire.
He only smiles faintly. “The world is too vast, and the universe too wide. It is enough that I have deceived just one person: her.”
Since he has decided to deceive her, he will keep up the lie for his entire life, fool her forever, and make her love only him for all her days!
