In the divine capital of Dayong, fragrance reigns supreme. From nobles and royals to ordinary people, everyone regards the art of incense as the highest standard.
The Lin family, the foremost incense-making house, was wiped out overnight, condemned for possessing a "forbidden fragrance." The legitimate daughter, Lin Ruoyou, narrowly escaped. Taking the name Su Wan, she hid among the common folk, passing herself off as a good-for-nothing who had lost her sense of smell.
Everyone believed the once-brilliant incense prodigy had long since perished. The Su Wan of today was merely a pitiful dependent who could not even tell clean scents from foul ones.
A marriage decree bestowed this "cripple" upon Gu Juechen, the most fearsome noble in the divine capital. Rumor had it that the "Jade-Faced King of Hell" was violent and bloodthirsty, yet frail and sickly, with little time left to live.
The world sighed that a good-for-nothing and a dying man were, at least, a "perfect match."
On their wedding day, he presented her with three peerless fragrances as a "test," intending to humiliate her.
But under the contemptuous gazes of the crowd, she lightly touched the samples and revealed their secrets.
"These are no ordinary fragrances. They are blades that kill, and remedies that save."
From then on, the divine capital was swept up in a new storm.
While everyone thought she was merely a wisteria vine clinging to power, she had already woven an immense web, using fragrance as her thread.
She blends extraordinary scents, solves strange cases across the land, avenges her family, and heals the heart of the one she loves.
Su Wan: "In this life, I will make only three fragrances: one for life, one for death, and one for you."
Gu Juechen: "No fragrance in the world can compare to you. My life is yours, too."
This is the story of a revenge-driven genius who pretends to be weak while hiding her true strength, gradually taming the King of Hell into a loyal hound and stirring up storms across the land.
