Die Sheng, the saintess of a sacred village in Miao territory, grew up alongside poisonous insects and guarded the village's treasured secrets, all the while harboring a trace of curiosity about the outside world. Then one day, she rescued Hei Xiazi from the forbidden grounds. Badly wounded and unconscious, the man in sunglasses with his devil-may-care attitude became an unexpected twist of fate.
Taking his joking promise to marry her at face value, she defied the elders and chased after him out of Miao territory, bringing her personal gu insect and poisons with her. She plunged headlong into his turbulent world. From swarms of corpse beetles in the Seven Star Lu Palace, to the illusions and puzzles of the Qinling Sacred Tree, from the blizzards and bitter cold of the Cloud Top Palace to the eerie marshes of Snake Swamp Ghost City, her gu arts repeatedly broke their way through each crisis and pulled him back from the brink of death time and again.
He was a wanderer in the darkness, accustomed to loneliness and being used, but her determined pursuit gradually made him lower his guard. She shielded him from the claws of the Miluotuo, used forbidden arts to give him a chance at survival, and even wagered all her cultivation just to make him open his eyes. He went from pushing her away warily, to instinctively shielding her, and finally to the clumsy words, “Stay. Come live with me.” Amid the blood and danger of ancient tombs, they finally understood the depth of the feelings in each other's eyes.
When Miao sorcery meets a tomb-raiding legend, and a stubborn saintess collides with a roguish blind man, the pursuit that began in a Miao village will finally settle, over the years, into a promise: “May we share a lifetime of peace, and return together.” The Iron Triangle watches the whole thing unfold: This isn't tomb raiding, it's a full-blown quest to win her man!
Woohoo, it looks good (I cried to death)
