For the sake of his first love, Sebastian Richards trampled on the wife who had been by his side for four years. He mocked her for being cold and uninteresting, pushing her away with his own hands. Watching her leave in desolation, he thought he'd only lost a dull shadow. Until the moment they met again, he saw the radiant woman before him. She had shed her rigid facade, her eyes now full of allure, becoming a prized gem chased by countless elites. Even the aloof Vincent Fox only showed a smile for her. That moment, jealousy turned him into a ridiculous madman. Night after night, he stood guard outside her door, offering checks and presenting jewels, wishing he could open his chest to prove his sincerity. Until she walked away, arm in arm with another man, without looking back. Only then did he realize he had completely lost her...

Following his father's murder, Wu Ling's mother returned to the life of a courtesan, disguising her young son as a girl to take refuge in the Bamboo Silk House, a women's only sect dedicated to the arts. Now, as his powers awaken, he'll find himself torn between protecting his family and the goals of powerful cultivators who see him as a means to an end. "Wu Ling, I've accepted a marriage proposal on your behalf," the bewitching Hall Master of the Bamboo Silk House declared. "When you enter the Inner Sect, you'll enter under the name 'Hua Qianhu', fiancee of a young lord of the Liang family." "Hall Master, that's impossible!" Wu Ling protested. "Even if you ignore my relationship with Meifeng, I might have dressed well enough to hide as a mortal woman but I could never..." "So you truly didn't realize what you were doing," the Hall Master said, a dark smile on her lips. "Little Ling, you're a natural-born Shapeshifter. I'll teach you what you need to know," she said, her features shifting until she looked like a mirror image of the stunned Wu Ling. "As long as you follow my arrangements and learn my techniques, it isn't impossible for you to reunite with Meifeng..." "But you should consider Young Lord Liang carefully," the Hall Master added. "His affection for you is genuine. Perhaps, one day, you'll even feel the same for him..."

All it took was one crucial call from home and she found herself signing a contract she never dreamed was possible. The man she had pinned after for years, Logan Meyer, needed a trophy wife, an accessory to hang on his arm, and a mother to his three kids. And as the nanny his children were used to seeing, Briar happened to fit the bill. She needed the money to save a relative. But more than that, this was an opportunity for her to reach the forbidden fruit she could only see but not touch for years.

To stop her adversaries from destroying everything that she had dreamt of since she was a child, Briar would be forced to make choices. Choices that would change her life forever. Even if it means shedding all pretenses and revealing her true self.

Cast adrift and later captured by slavers, he uses his knowledge to save a dying mermaid, forging a magical artifact in the dark hold of a ship. This act of compassion sparks a bond with the mermaid, Neri, and earns him the protection of Rhiati, a mysterious Corsair captain.
