Su Wanzhao knows that in the original story, her frail body, ready to collapse at the slightest breeze, won’t last three chapters. Her fate is to have her heart pierced by Gu Zhaoming, the young master of the Pure Yang Sect. A cold “voice” constantly urges her to follow the script, provoke the dazzling child of destiny, and march toward her death.
She lowers her eyes, concealing the depths within them. Provoke him? No. She coughs until she looks as delicate as a flower in the rain, acting out every “accident” to perfection. Sure enough, Gu Zhaoming, the carefree playboy, goes from offering casual help to gazing at her with growing heat, until at last he stubbornly keeps watch outside her door, declaring his desire to get closer.
Gu Zhaoming thinks he has found a frail, delicate parasitic vine that needs his careful protection. He approaches willingly, even throwing himself at her. He has no idea that with every step, he is entering the web she has so carefully woven. And is he the only one caught in it?
In the shadows, unseen shackles tighten, while a chilling darkness from beyond the stars quietly descends. It covets the pure yang power within Gu Zhaoming, and sees Su Wanzhao, this “perfect vessel,” as a crucial pawn. When the death-dealing “voice” tears off its disguise and bares its fangs...
Su Wanzhao slowly raises her head. Beneath her sickly weakness lies an edge sharp enough to devour the sun and moon. This time, she will no longer be a pawn pushed toward the abyss. She takes Gu Zhaoming’s offered hand, and grasps the secret power awakening within her. Using herself as bait and affection as her thread, she will overturn the game that controls fate!
Beneath the sickly beauty’s fragile exterior lurks a hunter who can overturn the board; the child of destiny throws himself at her, yet becomes the sharpest blade for breaking the deadlock. With blazing pure yang and profound yin, who is the true player behind the scenes?
