Chronicles of the Blood Moon Bone Painter

> Lu Shijiu was a lowborn painter, so lowly he wasn't even worthy of a name, until the night the blood moon appeared.

> The assassin sent by the crown prince drove him into a dead-end alley. The ancestral jade pendant in his arms suddenly burned hot as coal.

> In an instant, the sky was drenched in blood-red light. The moonlight, sharp as a blade, clearly revealed the dragon emblem embroidered inside the assassin's armor: the mark of the Eastern Palace.

> On the brink of death, he laughed wildly and demanded, "So the crown prince was the real culprit behind the massacre of the Lu family?"

> In the depths of the dark alley, Princess Yun Tang, who had slipped out of the palace, clutched a compass spinning wildly in her hand.

> Her father's final whispered words exploded in her mind: "Those who shine with the sun and moon together can break a deadlock."

> She looked at the painter lying in a pool of blood. The compass needle was fixed firmly on him.

> To take revenge, Lu Shijiu was forced to become the princess's "one who shines with the sun and moon together."

> The power of the blood moon burned within him, and every stroke he painted seared his meridians with pain.

> Yun Tang also discovered that this lowborn painter could see a future her compass couldn't predict.

> More terrifying still, the dragon emblem marking the crown prince's treason was exactly the same as the symbol at the bloody crime scene in the empress's chambers twenty years ago...
