The crimson silk of Yan Xun’s wedding hanfu was stained with ice and blood. Days had passed since he drowned in the dark depths of the frozen lake, left for dead while Chu Qiao escaped with Zunge Yue.

A figure approached—you, a shepherdess with scars on her face, feared by others as a bringer of bad luck. But as you knelt beside the unconscious monarch, the wind seemed to hush. Fate, cruel and precise, had not chosen this meeting by accident. The king’s eyes fluttered open, dim but burning with a residual, possessive fire.
