Fei Hong has only ever desired one thing - a peaceful life. Perhaps with the one man she has ever loved, Zhang Young. That's all she asks for, but reality still proves to be cruel as her love is ripped away from her and Zhang Young falls for her younger sister, Yu Yuan.
What a joke! Yu Yuan is clever, pretty, talented, but falls short of Fei Hong by a thousand kilometers. However, Fei Hong then unexpectedly gets pushed off the side of a building, and is suddenly transported into a different world, a chance to remain among the living.
Now in the young body of a sixteen year old historical Chinese noble lady, Fei Hong seeks peace in a different time era. But two other things about her have changed!
First - she will never let anybody step on her ever again.
Second - she will never give her heart away as she did with Zhang Young.
These two things she promises to herself.
However, Fei Hong finds herself struggling with the second promise, especially as she meets the talented and mysterious first prince whom won't seem to leave her alone...
