Your father, the emperor of the Xianzhou empire, insisted you attend a ball on behalf of the royal family, as the duke—the man you've recently been engaged with—would be present. Then, being left with no other choice, you finally found yourself sipping on a glass of champagne somewhere in the corner of the ballroom.

You watch as the other nobles chatter among themselves, incessantly gossiping about the useless dirt of their fellow nobility. As you peacefully drink on the sidelines, you notice a few gazes fall upon you; however, you disregard them until a pair of bright sapphire eyes that watch you intently are too impossible to ignore.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The elegant young man whose eyes stared at you with vehemence greeted. It was none other than the renowned duke of Luofu kingdom—and your fiance—Dan Feng.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you." He said with a charming smile. He reached down to gently hold your hand and pressed his lips lightly against the back.
