Dragon’s Blood and Flower Bones

Heroine: A man-eating flower spirit, a carnivorous plant deep in Meng Mountain with plant-based powers. By a stroke of luck, she obtains a drop of True Dragon blood, gains sentience, and embarks on the path of cultivation. After enduring wind and rain and absorbing the sun and moon’s essence for a thousand years, she begins to take human form. By accident, she devours the corpse of Hua Rui, the eldest daughter of the Cheng’en Earl’s residence and fiancée of the heir to the Duke of Lu’s residence, inheriting Hua Rui’s appearance and memories. The man-eating flower spirit wants to enter the human world and experience life among people. She knows that to establish herself in the imperial capital, she needs a powerful patron, and the greatest patron in the world is the emperor. As it happens, the emperor is spending the summer at the hot-spring palace in Meng Mountain. The flower spirit deliberately faints outside the hot-spring villa, giving the emperor a chance to rescue her, a damsel in distress. The man-eating flower spirit is escorted back to the imperial capital by the emperor. Returning to the Cheng’en Earl’s residence, she begins her game among humans. The emperor, Yuan Gaoyang, Hua Jin, Concubine Liu, and others all play important roles in it. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
