Unfortunately, Li Luo was born with an incredibly rare condition known as a blank resonance - as the name suggests, he doesn't have one! Normally, this would be utterly crippling, but at least he has the advantage of being the young master of the mighty House Loulan, one of the five Great Houses of Xia.

For that matter, plenty are also eyeing his talented, beautiful childhood friend and fiancee Jiang Qing'e, who has been leading House Loulan in his parents' stead! Li Luo would much rather keep a low profile and wants call off the engagement - but Jiang Qing'e has flatly refused. What's a 'useless young master' to do? Is there any way he can get out of this engagement? Can he figure out a way to protect his House from the jackals circling around it? And... is a blank resonance really useless? Come and find out!
