She is the eldest daughter of a reclusive clan and the unorthodox physician feared throughout the martial world.
Yuan Jiuqing, the legitimate daughter of the Yuan family, is aloof by nature and unmatched in the art of poison. She commands the assassin organization Night Phoenix, but after being poisoned by a deadly toxin while saving her mother at the age of twelve, she shut everyone out.
He is the Prince of Jing, a celebrated war hero and the sharpest blade in the imperial family.
Xiao Jingheng, the emperor’s most favored son, is a battle-hardened warrior who keeps women at arm’s length. Yet he is afflicted with a strange curse-like poison, and when his life hangs by a thread, a figure in white saves him.
A chance encounter in a mist-shrouded forest unveils a shocking secret from twenty-three years ago.
When the crescent moon and maple leaf mark on his wrist is identical to hers;
when her blood can cure his poison, and his inner power can ease her pain;
when their touch suddenly awakens fragments of dormant memories,
they finally learn that their fates were bound together by a “twin birthmark” even before they were born.
“If you die, I can’t go on living either.”
Hunted by the royal family of Nanjiang, caught in the Crown Prince’s schemes, and constrained by the Yuan family’s strict rule of seclusion...
Against all odds, the cold-hearted unorthodox physician and the iron-blooded prince are forced to travel together. But as they face life and death side by side, they discover an even deeper truth:
Her years of secret protection,
the figure in white from his nightmares,
both stem from a bond they were deliberately made to forget...
A fated trial, redemption for them both, two powerful allies joining forces.
“Yuan Jiuqing, this time, let me protect you.”
“Xiao Jingheng, if you dare to die, I’ll slaughter all of Nanjiang.”
The ideas are clear, interlocking, and not overstuffed. It attracts me to look down.
