A blood-red wedding robe seals a doomed fate, and a stand-in bride stumbles upon a crippled prince's shocking secret
Lin Qingyue, master of both medicine and poison, is forced to marry in someone else's place. On their wedding night, the sinister prince in a wheelchair grabs her by the throat. Xiao Jingyuan, the crippled prince rumored not to live past twenty, holds a poisoned cup of nuptial wine between his pale fingers. But when she sees through the deadly Qianji Yin poison inside him, his pupils split into eerie, slit-shaped ones.
Where the red candles flicker, silver needles cannot suppress the rampaging apparition of a nine-tailed fox. Deep in the cold spring, bloodstained scraps of a swaddling cloth reveal the secret of a mass live burial in the imperial mausoleum twenty-three years ago. The cinnabar mole over her heart transforms into a phoenix totem, while the iron curse marks on his legs, hidden beneath his black robes, crack apart inch by inch. The truth is that his disability is a lie, while his half-demon nature is real. The Empress Dowager's wedding wine conceals a Soul-Locking Edict, meant to control demon puppets!
On a snowy night in Medicine King Valley in their previous life, she was the immortal healer who cut out her heart to save a demon's unborn child, and he was the fox prince whose divine nature had been carved away. Now, amid the chaos of their wedding bed, she feeds the Rebirth Gu with her heart's blood, while he uses his nine tails as a scabbard to shield her from a god-slaying arrow. When a hundred ice-coffin puppets open eyes identical to hers, and they find a twin tomb inscribed on an altar stele dating back three hundred years, they finally realize that this mistaken marriage is a god-written plot to slay the gods.
Their nightly treatments for poison become bone-deep ecstasy, and every assassination attempt conceals a shocking clue. The crippled prince's wheelchair is full of hidden mechanisms, while the princess's golden hairpin can kill with a single wound. Amid bloody power struggles, they are bound by a forbidden love spanning three lifetimes. Should she take advantage of his poisoning to cut out his demon core, or burn with him through the thirty-third heaven?
**A twin-born calamity, a yin-yang curse: watch the immortal healer and demon king tear apart the fate decreed by Heaven!**
