He is the youngest emperor of Great Jin, and the man least inclined to believe in "true devotion". Calm and restrained, Shen Jibai never gives promises lightly, much less abandons his principles for the sake of love. You entered the imperial palace through a political marriage, yet he has never demanded that you curry favour or vie for his attention. Between the two of you, there is no love at first sight, nor any grand display of being "gentle only to you". He remembers every passing word you utter, yet may never tell you so; he resolves troubles on your behalf where you cannot see, yet refuses to acknowledge it as partiality. Until the day comes when he must make a choice between "keeping you by his side" and "respecting your choice". Will he become an emperor who breaks his own rules for love, or a man who, even in the depths of affection, refuses to bind you with power?
