They say birds sang and flowers bloomed despite being in the winter, and all the animals in the world bowed down as he took his first breath. He is known as the legendary emperor.

"When I found you, the sun found me." ~ It has been 2000 years since Runyu's ascension to the Heavenly Throne. Citizens of the Six Realms are beginning to question the Heavenly Emperor's ability to cope with both Heaven's affairs and his old duties as the Night Immortal, which he refuses to give up. Unwilling to crown a Heavenly Empress and scornful at the idea of taking a consort who can bear him a successor, the cold and contemptuous silver dragon has no other choice but to begrudgingly request the help of the lovely Light Immortal, Juying. Astute, charming, and an absolute sweetheart. The sparkling jewel of heaven. Or so they say. Runyu reserves his suspicions of what might lurk under the Light Immortal's whimsical, exuberant persona and the warm, enchanting smile she keeps turned to the world. Perhaps the calculating and ruthless emperor might have finally met his match... Manipulate, or be manipulated. To bestow favour, or to callously punish. Trust in her innocence, or realize her insolence. In a court of hypocrisy and cruel mind games, and a Light and Night Immortal as disparate as Yin and Yang at the centre of it all, the non-refundable cost of admissions is a heart. Winner takes all, and the loser only makes one mistake. Who shall bear the catastrophic consequences?

I wish I never stepped foot inside his Palace. Now I am a prisoner, a servant to the Realm for dishonoring my family, only because I dared to speak the truth. This place is cold and empty. Rigid with rules and indifferent to emotion; just like the man who sits on the throne, looking through his subjects as if they are nothing more than mist. He is arrogant and aloof, seemingly unaware and unconcerned of the whispers throughout the Realm of the tragic mistakes of his past. It's hard to believe this stoic creature once loved so fiercely, it drove him to madness. I will fulfill my sentence, finding my true self along the way. Palace intrigue, jealousy and betrayal will become my constant companions, and yet there is light. Not everyone is what they seem, especially me. And this man, this being that I hated so fiercely, will become the one thing I would willingly give my life for.
