[Ultra-spiritual young woman from Nanjiang × stern Ninth Prince from the Central Plains, devoted pairing, 1v1]
“Your brother's bones are in my hands.” “What a coincidence. Your grandfather's backbone hangs from my sword tassel.”
Jiang Miao, princess of Nanjiang, is forced into a political marriage with Li Ji, the Ninth Prince of the Central Plains. On their wedding night, they fling each other's relatives' bones at one another and draw their swords.
She uses a gu to put him to sleep. He sneers and calls her a viper, yet they share a bed every night.
Until
Infants mysteriously disappear from the palace, and the Noble Consort's adopted son turns into a corpse infant that crawls from a dead woman's belly.
A boneless female corpse rises from a dry well in the Cold Palace, a yellow talisman covered in Nanjiang curses stuck to it.
The Ninth Prince, who has been pretending to be in love with her, is falsely accused of treason, and she discovers that
the Li Ji who is always so cold to her has her life-bound gu growing in his blood…
“Central Plains fool, I planted a love gu in you long ago.”
“…You call stabbing me a love gu?”
