“Two powerful, mutually devoted leads” + “woman disguises herself as a man” + “marriage first, love later” + “powerful secret identities” + “pocket dimension” + “transmigration”
She is a timid, easily bullied illegitimate daughter in the inner quarters, a cold-blooded divine physician, the hidden master of Yinling Tower, the beloved of the martial world’s elite, a feared demon star no one wants to mention, and the most honored…
At their first meeting: “A gold-inlaid vase from the imperial kilns?”
At their second: “This concubine… is far too frail…”
After one night,
he asks, “What happened to your leg?”
She answers, “A rabid dog bit me!”
She is his secondary consort, his business partner, his sworn brother who would lay down his life for him, and his very life…
But when everything between them proves to have been built on schemes and exploitation, where can their love possibly go?
Bowl after bowl of fertility-ending soup, and the layers of identities they conceal from each other, all become insurmountable barriers between them…
Just as he believes they may never meet again in this life…
“I choose him.”
