Zhao Xianyao titled Jun Wang by the previous emperor due to his credit in military. Every person in the kingdom fear at the same time admire the young general. He accompanied the Old General Xi as a disciple since ten years old despite being a prince the old general treated him like any soldier he trained which Xianyao admired. The young prince trained and fight along with Qi Ming who later became his best friend. Xianyao is very talented both in fighting and making strategies earning the trust and admiration of his fellow soldiers including the stubborn eccentric old general though he doesn't say it. During the selection for the crown prince, Xianyao supported his brother and step down from the competition. The prince said he doesn't want to be inside a golden cage when old general heard this he recommended the prince to replace him in managing the army of the kingdom while having Qi Ming as his vice general.

No one would expect that the man who is always seen to bath with his enemies' blood in every war would be flustered asking the cooks in Jun Wangfu how to make sweets for a date. The kitchen servants tried their best not to disturb their master as he cooks they even prevent making noise as they walk and breath. He gently place the cakes in the wooden basket covered with finest silk one by one.

He sitting in the carriage with Young Master Ji while waiting for Princess Xiang who is currently talking with her friend outside the carriage.

"Why don't we join them outside?" Young master Ji asked as he calmly observed the people in the market.

"Not interested."

"You are really like a block of ice as your niece described you."

"..."

"Fine, don't talk I'm curious how you will change once you are married. I heard the emperor is urging you to choose from the ladies who attended the last banquet as your fiance."

"..."

Not hearing anything from the other person, the young master can only shut up and be ready to face the consequence from losing in a bet with Princess Xiang. 'He really doesn't talk more than one sentence if he isn't interested huh.'

Young master Ji then stared outside noticing two figures wearing Qi fu's servants attire to others it may be seen they are young servants but the vibe given off of the one behind is somewhat feminine. Wha.. wait feminine! They're female servants! Why are they wearing male servant attires?!

Young master Ji didn't notice that he voiced out his thoughts and his last sentence attracted the attention of the prince.

'Spies? But they are lame in disguising.' Xianyao look at the two figures as the one front catches a young girl, then he hears a melodious voice he doesn't know why but hearing the woman's voice is like a strong wave that disturb his heart.

Upon seeing the owner of that voice walking away he jump off the carriage while wearing a bamboo hat covering his handsome face, he didn't noticed the young master who is now dumbfounded as he saw the cold blooded prince's gentle smile and curious gaze as he walk away following the two servants he was observing earlier.

He followed the trio and rented the room facing the room the trio rented, he saw the woman still wearing the male servant's attire and first noticed her doe like eyes they're the blackest color he have seen. He saw how her emotion changes from calmness to heart wrenching grief that he wants to caged her in his arms and shower her with things that would make her light pink lips smile.

Xianyao suddenly stop in thinking as he realizes how insane the direction of his thoughts are going.

"One."

A shadow guard immediately appear behind him. "Yes master."

"Observe them and report everything to me." Without waiting for One's reply he vanished in the room.

'I need to stay away from her, she's dangerous...' the prince didn't know that he is starting to change like a moth attracted to a fire called Xiuying.
