In the presence of strangers, Han Chen was always handsome and cold, making it difficult for others to get close to him. He was like the frosted snow – pure, and slightly chilly. Yet, he was also like the river flowing in the dark night – quiet and moving. To many, he was akin to an unparalleled and untouchable god. Only in the presence of Bai Jin Xi would this famous top police superintendent expose his deeply hidden shameless nature. “Come and sit nearer to me, I won’t eat you. At least, not now.” “I have never touched other women before. Do you want to check my body?” “Bai Jin Xi, never ever leave my side. Every year, every month, every moment, every minute, every second.” In her heart, there exists an obstinate old man – one who has tirelessly loved her throughout all these years. (Source: NU)
From [Hui3r](https://www.mangaupdates.com/groups.html?id=6020): Beautiful bones. Rare in this world. Those with bone do not have skin. Those with skin do not have bone. Most people’s eyes are shallow, seeing only the skin-deep appearance and not the ‘bones,’ the appearance of the inside.” The “bones” and “skin” are metaphorical and taken from an ancient text in which these are actually referring to inner and outer beauty, respectively. Most people are shallow and only see outward beauty and fail to acknowledge inner beauty. The female lead, Shi Yi, has memories of her past life in which her heart belonged to Zhousheng Chen. That life ended in tragedy for them, and in this life, her only goal and desire is to find him again… and one day, she does. He does not look the same, but she knows that beneath the outer appearance, it is him. He, however, does not remember her.
She was born into a powerful family of the nobility, a blue-blooded aristocrat as capable as any man. He rose from humble origins up the military ranks, an iron-blooded knight with high ambitions. A transaction for power severed her from her childhood sweetheart. A tardy encounter was the beginning of his and her vow to meet life and death under heaven, standing shoulder to shoulder. Political intrigue, dynastic succession struggles. He trampled through it all in the toil of becoming emperor. Old enmities became new disputes, concerning life and death of entire families. She entered once more into the palace, changing the entire political climate of their world. Meeting once again, they had become strangers. The peach blossom were all fallen, no more than a golden age grown cold.
