Five years ago, a fateful encounter left Tianxiang Pavilion’s courtesan Liu Qi shattered in both body and spirit.
Five years later, he returned to that man’s side under a new name and identity—
just to make him taste the agony of losing everything.
Yan Yuque, always cold and arrogant, driven solely by self-interest,never imagined the day would come when a crack would form in his heart. Liu Qi, the delicate embroiderer skilled in weaving blossoms into fabric, gentle and warm in front of others, yet sultry and bewitching in private.
Then there’s Lian Wu, the fabric house steward sent by Lian Yulou,who claims they had once met before…
The princess’s dowry, the empress dowager’s ceremonial gown—one entanglement after another slowly uncovers a conspiracy years in the making.
Just when Yan Yuque thought it was all behind him, he realizes what lies ahead… is still another trap.
“Yan Yuque! Is there room in your heart for anyone or anything besides yourself?”
“Sometimes I wonder… If that year I had let my father keep Yulou behind, what would have happened…”
