Summary
When Princess Mu Xin awakens in her past, she is in the middle of chaining her beautiful tutor, Left Chancellor Shen Li, to his bed.
Remembering how her obsessive pursuit ended with her brutal death, she vows to stop chasing him and stay far away from the woman destined to win his heart.
But the colder Mu Xin becomes, the less willing the usually restrained Shen Li is to let her go.
Her attempt to choose another husband awakens a jealousy far darker than anything she ever imagined.
After an assassination finally tears away his self-control, Shen Li reveals that his devotion has always been deeper—and far more dangerous—than hers.
Now the princess who once tried to bind him may be the one wearing golden chains for the rest of her life.
