Once, she disguised herself as a maid to have her meridians cleansed and remade, then stole Pei Shen’s priceless family heirloom and disappeared without a trace. When they met again, her meridians were blocked, and she was in unbearable pain. Learning that only the Pei family’s martial arts could cure her, she sought him out again, took advantage of his lingering feelings, and finally got what she wanted. Later, she went even further and tricked him into giving her his body, too. After a night together, she sealed his acupoints and slipped away without a sound, leaving him alone to question his life.
