Eating, drinking and whoring — since his banishment to the Nanjing Ministry of War, these had become Xie Yilu’s entire life. In this lawless age, scholars and Eunuch Faction sycophants clawed at each other’s throats and each grand chamberlain wielded more power and influence than the last. As someone who could not master the arts of flattery and bootlicking, Xie Yilu’s only wish was to be a conscientious minor official.

Yet who knew that in such chaotic times, one could still encounter written confessions that sung out in a voice as fresh as the light of dawn?

Plum blossoms are but fleeting visitors; only pines will be one’s constant companions.

Xie Yilu had fantasised about such a person, but he could never have imagined that this confidant like an immortal ascended from the dust of worldly affairs was actually him?!

An old stone lantern stand, a page of powerful calligraphy and a set of heartstrings plucked out of the blue. Looking up at that frosty visage, Xie Yilu could not help but wonder — what is he hiding behind that haughty mask? <<less

Having ascended from a beast to a mountain lord, Horang’s lowly origins meant he was disregarded by the other lords. None would associate with him or even say a word back when he tried to start up a conversation. Watching over his mountain in solitude—with a squirrel named Ttorang as his sole companion—one day a letter carrying words of marriage arrives, addressed to Horang.

Horang initially considers this a cruel joke, but when a fox demon appears and claims to be the sender, he seems to be quite sincere. Even chasing away the fox is no use, as he hovers near Horang, repeatedly asking for marriage. Horang’s heart is gradually swayed by the fox’s requests, but, actually, there is somebody he is waiting for. Someone whose name or face he can’t remember, but whom he had held dear even before becoming a mountain lord. Knowing this person might return someday, Horang cannot accept the fox’s proposal.

In the midst of all this, Horang’s mountain finds itself under threat from mysterious evil spirits and shamans that have begun to frequent it… <<less

Liu Yu, with her exquisite beauty, was sold into a brothel by her heartless parents in her previous life and died on the night she left the pavilion in the most luxurious brothel in Yangzhou City.... more>>

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she was fifteen, just one month before being sold to the matchmaker by her parents.

With her rebirth, there was one urgent matter at hand.
Within a month, she had to find a good husband for herself, escape from the Liu family, and avoid the fate of being sold in her previous life.

She took all the money she could spare, knocked on the door of the matchmaker's house in Changfeng Town. And as soon as she left the matchmaker's house, she met a young man. The matchmaker whispered to her, "Lu Chengxiao, the third son of the Lu family, the owner of the Lu Feng Cloth Shop."

Liu Yu understood; he was her third target.

Recently, Lu Chengxiao had encountered a beautiful woman several times and admired her. He was thinking it was a match destined for marriage.

It wasn't until one day when they met in the mountains, the beautiful woman twisted her foot and couldn't move so he carried her all the way.

When he returned to deliver the medicine, he saw the beautiful woman walking lightly, with no sign of a twisted foot. The heat behind his ears receded, and his eyes grew colder. He turned and went back to Changfeng Town.

Several days later, the beautiful woman shyly handed him a purse, thanking him for his help.

Lu Chengxiao sneered, "Thanking me for helping? That day, I turned back and saw the lady walking normally. Why would I need to help?"

"I can't accept this purse. If we privately exchange gifts, it might be hard to explain later. It's better for the lady to keep her dignity."

Alright, this one couldn't work. Liu Yu took back the purse, curtsied, and walked away…

Lu Chengxiao thought it was a decisive rejection, until several days later, he saw Liu Yu drop an embroidered handkerchief in front of the bookshop where the young man, Chen Sheng, worked. The gentleman picked up the scented handkerchief, and the beautiful woman blushed and thanked him. What a beautiful encounter.

Lu Chengxiao: "…"

A wave of frustration welled up in his chest, and he clenched his teeth as he tossed and turned in his dreams.

Until later, when he saw Liu Yu about to stage a falling-into-the-water scene, Lu Chengxiao panicked. He jumped into the river before Chen Sheng, pulled her ashore, held her slender waist, and couldn't help but feel both angry and pained. He didn't even want to ask more questions. He just held her in his arms and almost begged, "Don't you want a good marriage? I'll marry you!"

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.
