A twin-born curse haunts them through two lifetimes, while the Heavenly Dao’s chessboard traps all living beings. When the physician Bai Yueli cuts open a corpse in a mass grave, she accidentally revives Fan Xingqi, the demon emperor, who was dismembered and sealed away. The moon-shaped mark on her brow is the key to his thousand-year tribulation of love; the bloody scar in his palm is the cure for the deathtrap fate has set for her. As the world-ending flames reignite across the Three Realms, this ill-fated master and disciple smash through the thirty-three heavens. “If fate demands that we kill each other, then let the sun, moon, and stars all be buried with us!”
