Emperor Xiao Moyan has scoffed at Shen Zhixia's "schemes" since ascending the throne three years ago. As his personal female official, Shen helped him crush court factions but rejected all rewards—even turning down official posts for her family. His contempt shatters when an assassin strikes during a hunt: Shen dives in front of him, taking an arrow meant for his heart. Blood drips from her gown onto his hand, and she smiles weakly: "Your Majesty, all I’ve ever wanted is you. Ten years ago, you saved me from refugees when you were incognito. I just wanted to stay by your side, even as a tea-serving maid." Xiao freezes, recalling the little girl who’d clung to his sleeve crying in that alley. He realizes how foolish he’s been—those late nights helping him with memorials, the hangover soup quietly left on his desk—all were her decade-long love, hidden beneath her unassuming loyalty, and he’d dismissed it all as "ulterior motives."
