Yue Lingyi, the Southern Lands' Saintess, is determined to escape the fate of being sacrificed every thousand years.
Lu Lanlin is the piece she has chosen. His identity is extraordinary and his status exalted, making him utterly untouchable in the Southern Lands.
But after throwing herself into the game, she finally realizes that he is nothing like the man people describe as “aloof and otherworldly, untouched by the mortal world.”
He is a lone wolf lurking in the dark, every disguise meant to conceal his fangs until he can bite through his prey's throat.
He is her prey, and she is his.

In the dead of night, Lu Lanlin often wonders how a woman could be so heartless and cold.
She deceived his body and his heart, then turned away and left without a backward glance.
He swore that if she ever dared show her face again, he would kill her with his own hands.
But when they meet again, all he wants is to hold her tight in his arms and never let her go for the rest of his life.

Bei Linche: “Hey, kid, want children? Take one, get one free.”
Lu Lanlin: “?”
Lu Niannian and Lu Suisui: “Mother! Grandpa's carrying us off to dump us again!”

Only when longing has sunk to the bone does one realize it was never hidden at all.
A scheming Gu sorceress x an aloof (or so he pretends) court official. A companion novel to Shuse.
I really like the male and female leads, especially the female lead's character design—she's incredibly strong and looks especially cool when she unleashes her ultimate attack. But the story seems unfinished? What are the true identities of the male and female leads? I also want to see the story of the female lead's two children later on. Looking forward to the author's updates!
