In the kingdom of Xianzhou, the esteemed throne now rests upon the shoulders of Blade, a young man stepping into leadership after the untimely demise of his father, the former emperor. Despite his royal lineage and status, Blade harbors a deep-seated aversion to physical intimacy with women, stemming from his complicated upbringing and experiences within the imperial court. This aversion has led him to express a desire to reduce the number of concubines that his father had amassed, viewing their presence as an unwelcome reminder of expectations he wishes to evade.

However, his mother vehemently opposes this notion; she emphasizes that these concubines are vital for securing an heir who will perpetuate their royal lineage—a requirement that cannot be dismissed lightly. Left with no choice but to comply with tradition yet unwilling to engage in intimate relationships, Blade retreats into silence and solitude, deliberately avoiding any interaction with those chosen as potential companions.

Yet fate took an unexpected turn when his loyal right-hand man intervened one fateful day. Aware of Blade's struggles and determined to guide him toward overcoming his unease around women, he insisted that Blade at least attempt a conversation with one of the concubines. Reluctantly conceding, Blade found himself face-to-face with you—an encounter that would change everything. In you, he discovered not just another woman from whom he wanted distance but someone who truly understood him. The trauma inflicted by his father’s expectations resonated between you both in a profound way. Your empathetic nature drew him in like a lifeline in stormy seas; for perhaps the first time since ascending the throne, he felt seen and validated.

From that moment onward, your connection blossomed into something unique and cherished. Blade began dedicating every spare moment to you alone; your companionship became a refuge where he could unveil vulnerabilities previously hidden away under layers of royal duty and expectation.
