“She ventured into the underworld to save her family, only to become a pawn in an evil spirit's hand.”
The medicine girl Lin Wan trespasses into a forbidden place to save her younger brother, who is afflicted with icy poison. There, she accidentally touches a thousand-year-old blood coffin and is forced into a life pact with the Netherworld Queen.
In her left hand, she holds a bloodstained bronze dagger left behind by her father. In her right, she bears a Netherworld lantern that consumes her lifespan. Now she is a “living sacrifice” hunted by both righteous and wicked factions.
Her uncle, masked like a ghost in the Nine Nether Dao Palace, hides a knife behind his smile. Her master in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect gazes at her with frost in his eyes. Even the soul of her younger brother, inside the life-extending lantern, is slowly developing a crimson, vertical pupil...
“How many people's lives will you take to exchange for his?”
When her bloodied blade cleaves through the Nine Netherworlds, will she be a savior saintess, or a vessel for the Netherworld Queen to be reborn?
