[Political intrigue] + [Strong heroine] + [Sweetness and heartbreak] + [Mutual devotion]
The legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei, Pei Zhaoxue, was deeply in love with Fifth Prince Xie Yan for years, and married him.
In return, she was humiliated in a neglected courtyard, had her martial arts skills abolished, and was pierced through the heart by an arrow.
Only as she lay dying did she realize that Xie Yan was ill. At times he was as gentle as jade; at others, he was sinister and cruel.
Reborn, Pei Zhaoxue traded her military achievements for the dissolution of her engagement to Xie Yan, then decided to help cure him:
She could not let his illness spiral out of control, make him slaughter the innocent, and bring calamity upon the world.
She searched for the cause, hunted for medicinal catalysts, and tried every means she could think of, only to find that the more she treated him, the worse things became. He seemed even more unwell...

Xie Yan has a hidden illness, and a demonic presence lies deep within his heart.
His fiancée, whom he had waited years for, insisted on breaking off their engagement and treated him coldly:
At first, he smiled wearily. “It’s just as well that the engagement is over. In my condition, what if I hurt her?”
Later, he grew increasingly sinister. “You treat me coldly and despise me, yet you go to so much trouble for me. Are you only trying to save me, or are you playing with me by keeping me at arm’s length?”
Later still, his obsession took root. “Give yourself to me, and my illness will never return!”
