She uses a bloodline secret art to coax ancient epiphyllum flowers into bloom. Their fragrance draws wild bees, masking the group’s tracks. To keep their hiding place secret, every day before dawn she exhausts her spiritual energy, blowing on the flowers one by one to renew their scent.
Her husband, Sun Quetan, was bound to her only by duty to their country. But when he sees her collapse from exhaustion after blowing on the flowers, his resolve wavers, and his heart begins to stir.
