    Summary

    He had heard tales before. Of swan maidens, alone as he was, innocent and unaware of eyes watching them. The desire that filled the humans as they watched the creatures, swimming in glistening streams with their enchanting bodies, oblivious to the cruelness of the world until their coats were snatched up right before their eyes. He had even heard tales before where the swans were with their own flock when a foreign interloper grasps the feathers of one. The others, in these versions, flee for the fear of selfish hands grasping them next.

    --
    When stolen away from a lake in a land of eternal winter, Shang Qinghua is subjected to cruelty at the hands of one demon lord, and unaware that another demon's heart was taken from him when he set his eyes on the swan maiden. As he desperately tries to find his feathered form in the seemingly never-ending walls of the Northern Palace, he gains the attention of Mobei-jun without knowing exactly why. His false husband's nephew was heartbreakingly handsome, somehow even colder than his uncle, and everything Shang Qinghua had ever wanted in a mate when he was a cygnet.

    Mobei-jun, on the other hand, is intent on killing his uncle and having Shang Qinghua for himself.
