Summary
Hua Cheng is the young lord of the Ning Clan, which presides over the famous merchant port, Silver City. When he was 15, the responsibility of a lord was dropped into his lap on the same night that his mother passed away, his father ran off with a concubine, and his two older brothers disappeared. Over the past 4 years, Hua Cheng has become respected and feared, due to his misunderstood mannerisms, as well as his one crimson eye, said to have demonic origins.
Xie Lian was adopted by Jun Wu and raised as his son. Nobody knows that Xie Lian descended from the Xianle royal family, nor should they. Otherwise, he would be hunted down and viciously killed, meeting the same fate as his family had, nearly 21 years ago. Because of this, the prince keeps his true identity a complete secret.
These two have been betrothed since they were children. From the night that their engagement is officially announced, the mystery of Xie Lian's complicated past seems to slowly unfold piece by piece.
Can they survive the trials of secrecy and prejudice, or will their love crumble to ash?
