[Reborn black-lotus heroine, ruthless and cunning × arrogant, unhinged male lead bent on self-destruction | Intense push and pull | Fated entanglement | The substitute strikes back]
Jiang Yi clutched the bloodstained Qingze Jade and laughed as she looked over the wreckage of the Lan Jian Pavilion.
Her seventeen years bearing the false title of Saintess had been nothing but a scheme by her master to revive his daughter. Her life had been prepared for Su Tian, who was destined to die young.
Tear out her heart to trade for another life?
Dream on.
She stole the sect’s most precious treasure and turned around to bring down this den of monsters.
When the pursuers caught up, Wen Cang’s spear was colder than moonlight.
This unhinged nemesis always claimed he would take her life, yet when she was trapped in a killing formation, he shielded her from every murderous blow. “Jiang Yi, who gave you permission to die at someone else’s hands?”
Everyone said he hated her to the bone, but they didn’t know that every new moon, he climbed onto her windowsill and traced her lips with bloodied fingertips.
His eyes were so red they looked ready to bleed. “Su Sheng treats you as a substitute? The craziest substitute act in the world should be ours.”
She climbed over his blood, and he laid a path for her with his battered body.
When the black lotus set out to overturn this world that devoured people, her unhinged nemesis offered her a bloodstained blade.
“Jiang Yi, you and I are evil seeds grown from the same pit of mud.” He licked the blood from her fingertip. “Either we go to hell together, or...”
He gripped the back of her neck and drew her against him. “Let me be the shadow you can never kill.”
When a substitute’s revenge collides with a fated entanglement, in this game born of betrayal and exploitation...
Whoever falls in love first will lose everything.
