Haunted by the assassination attempt overseas years ago, Song Ling often suffered from nightmares. During those restless nights, it was Gu Dai's soft whispers that lulled him back to sleep.
When he woke up, however, he would feel embarrassed and lash out at her.

Initially, he thought it was some kind of manipulative ploy on her part, but her agreement was genuine. Now, the warmth that once filled her gaze when she looked at him had vanished.
