"Even if it costs my life, I will protect you this time. I promise."

Xu Huan Zheng (许焕正) is the bastard son of a rich merchant and a wannabe painter who has prophetic visions and photographic memory. His specialty is having visions of one's soulmate whenever he held someone's hand. But his painting skills are so bad that whenever he tried putting the people in his visions on paper, they are nearly always unrecognizable.

Yan Wu Yuan (言无怨) is a famed landscape painter who has never shown his face and works under the pseudonym Wu Hui (无悔).   His paintings were always sold at high prices to nobles and rich merchants who use his art as a symbol of status. But he always falls into deep ruts in between his masterpieces. To overcome his rut this time, he decided to accept a position at the most prestigious art academy of the entire Song Empire.

When both of them first crossed paths, Yan Wu Hui knew exactly who Xu Huan Zheng was. Someone he had been trying his best to avoid in this lifetime. When Xu Huan Zheng held Yan Wu Hui's hand to show off his prophetic gift, he experienced a head-splitting migraine. It was the first time this had ever occurred and he was determined to get down to the cause of it.

Banished for five years, Lady Belinda Carrington returns to Willowfair, claiming to know things one would find impossible to believe. With her tainted reputation, can Belinda make Town Guard McKenzie Haverston help her in her pursuit of the truth? *** After her banishment five years ago, Belinda Carrington returns with secrets and tales too impossible to believe. But something in her lies makes McKenzie Haverston desperate for the truth... When Belinda shows up in McKenzie's home asking for protection in return for important information on a case he's working on, he rejects her. But when he learns where she had been banished after her great scandal five years ago, he finds himself striking a deal with the woman-he protects her, she gives him answers. The question now is: how true is her tale? She was once considered the fairest of them all, but one scandal later, she has become the most reviled. And she is also being hunted.

However, as the truth of the past begins to resurface, and the secrets of her scandal is revealed, Belinda is confronted by her own demons, causing her to doubt her own reality.
