[Angst-Ridden Romance + Second Chances + Wuxia Political Intrigue + Devoted Couple + Pure Historical Romance + Happy Ending] On the day of Shu Jingning's wedding, Wu Yin tries to assassinate him to console her master's spirit. Instead, he locks her in the bridal chamber with an iron chain.
He says that when she leapt gracefully onto a bamboo branch all those years ago, she landed right in his heart. But their tortured love is entangled with a realm in turmoil, leaving Wu Yin covered in scars.
The first scar is her master's death.
The second is when he crippled her martial arts, then took advantage of her amnesia to trick her into staying in the imperial palace.
The deepest scar came when Wu Yin finally admitted she loved him, only for him to leave her an empty grave.
Wu Yin thought hatred was all she had left in life. Only at the end did she discover that Shu Jingning had loved her so deeply that every wound he inflicted on her had first flayed his own heart.
