He was once an innocent, lively young boy. But after accidentally wandering into a Miao village, he knocked Jiang Jingxue, the daughter of the current Miaojiang Saintess, Jiang Ruting, off a cliff. In a fit of rage, she imprisoned and tortured him, stripping him of his name and making him her “Jiang slave.” Worse still, he was raised to replace Jiang Jingxue, the missing Saintess. When word arrived that Jiang Jingxue had fallen from a cliff and vanished without a trace, the desperate current Saintess turned her twisted longing into a poisonous Gu. She transformed Jiang Nu alive into Jiang Jingxue’s “shadow.” His mind was erased, instincts carved into him, and his appearance and mannerisms remade… Jiang Nu ceased to exist. All that remained was a walking, living tombstone imitating Jiang Jingxue, acting out the phantom of the dead day after day to satisfy the Saintess’s unhealthy obsession. What fate awaits him in the future?
A word of warning: This novel shifts from realistic fiction to fantasy. It’s my first work, so I let my imagination run wild.
