Shen Taoxi and Young Marquis Gu had known each other for twelve years, childhood sweethearts, their marriage arranged the year she reached 15. She thought her youthful love had finally come to fruition. But when Shen's father was falsely imprisoned, and Gu Jinwen protected the other women, looking at her with a gesture of alms and reassuring her that the marriage would remain unchanged, she realized that true love is fleeting and never truly perfect. Her young heart was trampled upon, her childhood connection negligible in the face of power. Yet, even so, Shen Taoxi never gave in. She personally severed the engagement, severing the twelve-year acquaintance, and braved the storms step by step. But no one could have foreseen that, just when everyone thought the once-powerful Shen family would fall, the eldest master would be released from prison and reclaim his position of power. And the pearl, once stained by mud, was now held in the palm of the hand of the man who had returned to Kyoto. ...Gu Jinwen wasn't the only one who had known Shen Taoxi for twelve years. From the moment he first laid eyes on that little girl, Xie Jin, the King of Huaixi, had cherished her in his heart. But at his young age, he didn't realize that once such a longing was born, it would last a lifetime, haunting him night after night, even after leaving the capital, driven by a desire to wrest her back to his side.
