Blood Tears from a Birthmark: The Phoenix Returns Beneath the Zhenyuan Stone

Set against the secrets of the reclusive Nan family, the story follows the fated entanglement between heir Nan Puguifan and ancient-text restorer Zeng Hui. Nan Puguifan possesses the rare “Pure Yang Constitution” and must find the “Phoenix Vein Heir” to resolve his energy crisis and protect the family’s treasured Zhenyuan Stone. Six years ago, an incense scheme in the ancestral shrine, devised by Pan Yuxin, the daughter of a force allied with the Nan family, led Zeng Hui, who was there gathering material, to stumble into his life. Their encounter was later mistaken for a dream.

Six years later, the Nan family birthmark on the neck of the child Nan Nian’an brings the buried past to light. Zeng Hui is drawn into the Nan family’s power struggle with her child in tow. Pan Yuxin repeatedly schemes against her to seize the position of matriarch, but Zeng Hui foils her plans with grit and intelligence. When Zeng Hui is gravely wounded protecting her child, only Nan Puguifan’s Pure Yang energy can keep her alive. Their energies merge over three days and nights, awakening Zeng Hui’s Phoenix Vein power and allowing their love to overcome every obstacle.

In the end, Nan Puguifan exposes Pan Yuxin’s misdeeds and purges the family’s internal threats, then formally names Zeng Hui the Nan family’s matriarch in a grand ceremony. Together, they balance the energy of the Zhenyuan Stone and resolve the family’s conflicts. Through their devotion and stewardship, they turn a fateful mistake into a legend spanning generations and usher in an era of peace and prosperity for the Nan family.
