Born with the ability to command paper into soldiers and peer into the realms of yin and yang, she is condemned for practicing “evil arts.” Bound by a marriage contract, she is forced to take her sister’s place and marry Gu Xizhou, the living King of Hell of the north. Rumor has it that he is cursed: he has survived bloody battlefields, outlived three fiancées, and is a human weapon in his own right. On their wedding night, he grips her chin, his voice as cold as a corpse’s: “Mrs. Gu, if you want to live, behave yourself and stay out of the way.” Paper figures dance at Su Miaomiao’s fingertips as she gives him a sultry look. “Marshal, can a useless ornament catch ghosts, ward off evil, warm your bed, and keep bad luck at bay?” From then on, the Marshal’s residence becomes her “studio.” The socialites mock her for clinging to the living King of Hell? She turns around and exposes the dark secrets of the wealthy, with paper figures livestreaming the face-slapping spectacle! The warlord’s political enemies try to use evil arts against him? She commands a hundred ghosts on a nightly rampage and strikes back, leaving them utterly annihilated! Gu Xizhou discovers that his contract bride has secret identity after secret identity: she is a traitor to the mystic sect, a mysterious black-market broker, and the mastermind stirring up the storm! He returns drenched in blood and pins her against a wall covered in talismans, his breath dangerous. “Miaomiao, who are you, really?” Her fingertip traces the unhealed wound over his heart. “Gu Xizhou, the evil bone that cannot kill you is the fate that made me reborn.”
