The Viper’s Beauty Gu

Mo Wenwen seems to have it all: she’s beautiful, the universally recognized campus belle, and the center of attention wherever she goes. But nobody knows her chilling secret: every month, she has to return to her remote mountain hometown, drink a strange black soup prepared by her grandmother, and drip a drop of her own blood into the unsettling black jar beneath her bed. Gradually, she notices that the people around her who bully or harass her start suffering one calamity after another. They either fall seriously ill or meet with accidents. Something sinister is going on. Then a transfer student named Yin Qingyan appears, so handsome he hardly seems real. His gaze is icy, yet he mysteriously shows up whenever she’s in danger. Mo Wenwen finally realizes that there is definitely something wrong with her grandmother and that black jar! Forced to learn the family’s strange inherited art of Gu sorcery, she discovers that terrifying changes are taking place in her own body as well... On one side is the innocent life of a student; on the other, the sinister world of Gu sorcery. On one side is Yin Qingyan, the cold and mysterious “human Gu serpent” who protects her; on the other are the evil forces lurking all around her. Mo Wenwen is forced onto a path with no turning back. She must uncover the mystery of her birth, master the powerful force within her, and survive one crisis after another, until she becomes a Gu sorceress who can both bewitch the world and protect the ones she loves: a femme fatale like a venomous snake and scorpion.
