Heart Gu

Everyone knows that the direct disciple of the world's greatest swordsman is a good-for-nothing. So he rejects the usual path and spends his days stealing and scheming. Though his sect looks down on him, at least he has earned himself a reputation as a chivalrous thief.

A fleeting glimpse of Cai Yuan inspires him to steal a zither on a whim. Their connection is too brief, and when her life ends, all that remains is a single flame-hidden flower petal to carry his longing. Unfortunately, it is a dangerous object.

While hiding from one place to another, he decides to investigate the imperial palace. Little does he know, he will fall into another trap within its walls. The appearance of a mysterious person plunges him into even greater danger. Mu He saves him time and again because of the flame-hidden flower. This woman, skilled in poisons and spells, hides countless secrets. Shangguan Wangshu cannot tell whether Mu He's attitude toward him is distant or close, and he has no idea how he should treat her either...
