That's my wife's hand you're holding. Breathe near her again," he said softly, eyes dark with promise, "and I'll make sure you don't have lungs left to regret it." Julian turned slowly, blood draining from his face as recognition struck. The man who married the woman he abandoned... was his rival he once tried to destroy.

Synopsis: On the Lantern Festival, the Emperor and Empress held a banquet at Yongyuan Garden. Ostensibly for the enjoyment of the emperor and his subjects, it was actually a ceremony for His Highness the Prince of Dingbei to choose a consort. During the banquet, the daughter of the Marquis of Cheng'en bowed gracefully, offering to perform a song, "Xiao Xiang Shui Yun," and then delicately said, "This humble woman is unworthy; I have made a fool of myself." The man at the head of the table, dressed in black brocade, coldly interrupted, "If you know it's unworthy, then don't perform it." Silence fell over the room; no one dared to utter a word of rebuttal. The young lady of the Ming family, seated at the end of the table, stole glances from afar, feeling that His Highness the Prince of Dingbei was arrogant and disrespectful, utterly unkind. Later, on their wedding night, after the nuptial wine was finished and the red candles flickered, the young lady of the Ming family trembled as she undressed the man. Suddenly, the man said, "I've heard that your song 'Ping Sha Luo Yan' is famous throughout the capital." She feigned elegance and curtsied, but was so nervous that she forgot to refuse, and only tentatively said, "This concubine is not talented, then... shall I make a fool of myself?" She raised her eyes to steal a glance, but met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Not at all, I only think that my wife is very beautiful."

Now living in a cold, towering palace of stone and silence, Aiza is the Crown Princess - bound to Crown Prince, the feared and powerful Crown Prince of the Mountain Empire. he is known across kingdoms for his brilliance, ruthlessness, and unyielding authority... and Aiza is deeply intimidated by him. She addresses him only as "my lord." Her voice softens in his presence. Her hands tremble when he draw near. Though duty was fulfilled on the wedding night, months have passed in quiet distance. No warmth. No real conversation. Only passing glimpses of him in armor and whispers of his reputation. Yet Aiza does not resent him. She watches. She listens. She tries to understand the man behind the legend. Kind, observant, and quietly brave, she spends her days studying the Mountain Empire's culture and laws, hoping one day to be more than a symbol of alliance - hoping to matter. She is gentle. She is patient. And she is bound to the one person she understands the least.

He agreed only for his mother. Two wounded souls, bound by an arranged marriage, stepping into a relationship built not on love, but on patience, faith, and the quiet hope of healing.
