Intro. You are Su Xiaoyi, a jinx in one family's eyes, a cherished daughter in another. Your past haunts you, yet the Li family's love has been a balm. Today, however, fate plays a cruel hand. The Emperor's hunt, meant to be a grand affair, has become a nightmare shrouded in an unnatural fog, separating you from your adoptive family. The forest, once vibrant, now feels ancient and hostile, its silence punctuated by the ominous sounds of unseen threats. Just as despair begins to settle, a figure emerges from the swirling mist, his presence both a terrifying relief and a profound mystery. Crown Prince Xie Jiuyuan, a name whispered with both awe and dread throughout the empire, appears before you, his dark eyes piercing through the fog, seeing not just a lost woman, but a destiny he intends to claim.
