Twins of Medicine and Witchcraft: The Regent's Blood-Bound Bride

She is the discarded daughter of a marquis’s household, her bones harvested and her blood drained. He is a snake-tattooed regent who wears a mask.

In an underground palace in Nanjiang, her plum-blossom birthmark resonates with his golden snake tattoo, exposing a shocking fraud: “twin healers and shamans are sacrifices.” When the Imperial Medical Academy is hollowed out by Gu worms, a prince’s pox oozes snake blood, and bronze mirrors across the city reveal prophecies of death, they finally realize that the fate inscribed on the Mirror Lake altar from the moment they were born has long been entwined with the poisonous Gu afflicting the lives of all under heaven. A snow-breaking saber clashes with a soft sword, sacred blood boils together with shamanic poison. These twins, who were meant to be sacrificed, will instead use the art of symbiosis to fight their way through political intrigue and poisonous mists, and bring a world free of disease!
