On a restless night filled with the shrill song of cicadas, bandits slaughtered the entire Fang household in Linbei. Fang Lanyin had been the eldest daughter of the wealthy Fang family, and her beauty stirred wicked desires in the attackers. Unwilling to let them defile her, she threw herself beneath the locust tree in the courtyard to preserve her virtue.
As she lay dying, she gazed up at the cicadas in the tree. The purple cicada was her favorite, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Her face was full of resentment and an overwhelming will to live.
Her yearning gave birth to a spirit...
Her soul was bestowed upon the purple cicada, and hundreds of years passed in the blink of a cicada’s chirp.
At an auction in 2023, the purple cicada was made into a brooch and sold as a piece of jewelry. Jiang Yufeng of the Jiang Trading House bought it for thirty million.
A slash of blood awakened the purple cicada, whose slumber had lasted for centuries...
The purple cicada Fang Lanyin, carrying her memories, was reborn in human form and came to rest at Jiang Yufeng’s side...
Fang Lanyin: “Jiang Mian.”
Jiang Yufeng: “? My name is Jiang Yufeng. How do you know my grandfather’s name?”
Fang Lanyin: “Huh...? You’re not Jiang Mian?”
