Bai Fengjiu uses her blood to seal an evil tiger spirit, causing irreparable damage to her spirit. She finds out that she has until her Heavenly Trial to live. She knows that Donghua Dijun does not love her back, but she couldn't help but be a little selfish to reach for her dream one last time before she perishes. "Donghua will you marry me? We only need to be together until my Heavenly Trial, not forever. After I pass my trial, my father will be convinced I can live without a prince consort. We can separate then.... Then I would keep my father from worrying and we won't need to stay together forever so.... That.... That's not defying fate is it?" Donghua Dijun is shocked to find the woman he has been missing for over 200 years, lying beside him in bed, proposing. At a moment of weakness, he agrees. Unknown to him, the woman he loves is about to face her fated calamity.

She awakened something in me that I thought had long since died. With a single glance, she unraveled every certainty I had ever known. One smile stole the breath from my lungs. One touch became a memory I could never bear to live without. She was temptation wrapped in innocence... The one woman capable of bringing the strongest man to his knees. What began as admiration became longing. Longing became obsession. And before I could stop it... She became my greatest love. The very reason my heart still beat. But fate had bound me long before she ever entered my life. I already belonged to another. She was forbidden to me. To love her was to betray my vows, my honor, and everyone who had placed their faith in me. Every stolen glance was an act of treason. Every moment together carried the weight of a kingdom. Yet the heart does not obey duty. It does not bow to honor. And it refuses to surrender to fate. When the entire world demands that we remain apart... How much is a man willing to sacrifice for the one woman he can never have?

"Didn't you say you wanted me to be happy regardless?" I asked him with wide eyes. "Even it it's not with you?" He sighed and rubbed over his face, something he often did when he was irritated. "Nadia I just can't and won't accept that" He shook his head. "He's what makes me happy Xabrien." "I can't believe you leaving me alone for a white boy."
