Tomb Raiding: Rescued from the Start, I Became His Stand-In Sacrifice

“Zhang Qiling, you protected the wrong person.” The year he went into the wilderness, Chu Li was gravely wounded and rescued, becoming the only light in Zhang Qiling’s dark years. To protect the one he loved, he used a forbidden spell. But he became an experimental subject in the hands of the Wang Family, had his heart carved out to make medicine, and was turned into a living puppet at Wu Xie’s side. He watched helplessly as Zhang Qiling repeatedly risked his life for his “white moonlight.” The backlash from the life-transfer curse pierced him to the bone. When the Bronze Gate opened, he took Zhang Qiling’s place and entered hell, using his broken body to lock away countless vengeful spirits. A hundred years later, Zhang Qiling guards Wu Xie’s empty grave, unaware that within the Bronze Gate, the “traitor” he hated so much had been devoured, down to his very soul, by the love he mistook for hatred.
