Lu Jingchen, a disciplined soldier haunted by loyalty and loss, agrees to honor a dying promise: marry the sister of his fallen comrade. Cold, unreadable, and devoted to a memory that isn't hers, Jingchen is everything Clara can't allow herself to want.
Thrust into a marriage forged by grief, Clara must navigate a life that was chosen for her-while hiding the ache of a love she thought long buried. But as secrets resurface and shadows from the past return, Clara and Jingchen are forced to confront not only each other, but the pieces of themselves they thought they had lost forever.
Can love bloom in the aftermath of tragedy-or will duty destroy them both before it even begins?
