Shen Shuying returns covered in blood, seeking vengeance for the slaughter of her entire family. But an assassination mission unexpectedly triggers a long-lost secret art between her and the cold-blooded Prince Xiao Jue: their senses become linked, and they share each other's pain!
When he is hurt, she feels agony in her heart. When she bleeds, he feels as if he is being flayed alive. This unwanted bond of shared existence becomes the cruelest shackle on her path to revenge. Her enemy is right within reach, yet this bizarre connection keeps her from striking. Instead, he forcefully imprisons her, keeping them together day and night.
He sees her as a weakness and an unknown variable that must be controlled, and his possessiveness runs bone-deep. She hates him to the core, but can only use their shared senses to find an opening for revenge, even if that means hurting herself or him. His obsession beneath his gentle facade, and the flames of hatred beneath her aloof disguise, give rise to a twisted attachment amid their forced proximity and unbearable pain.
Until she discovers that the mastermind who framed the Shen family and destroyed her life is none other than the beloved relative he swore to protect!
Consumed by boundless hatred, she sets a deadly trap, using herself as bait so he can taste the pain of her flesh and bones being torn apart. She fakes her death and escapes, believing she has finally severed their ill-fated bond... But with the truth staining the land red with blood and their unbreakable sensory connection, how will this end?
