After being killed by having her heart cut out, Shen Zhiyi was reborn as the legal wife of her previous life's husband's uncle.
The whole city laughed at her for being stuck in a loveless marriage, but every night she carried a compass and sneaked into Fu Jingshen's room.
"Uncle, your body is tangled in baleful energy. You have to hold me while you sleep to get rid of it."
The man's gaze was dark and unfathomable as he let her use him as a human talisman to ward off evil.
In the name of "treating his illness," she flirted with him, until one night a pair of strong arms held her fast against his warm chest.
"Shen Zhiyi," he murmured, his scorching breath turning the tips of her ears red. "Did your divination tell you... that I have never believed in fate, only in you?"
And when the truth behind her brutal death in her previous life came to light, he turned out to be the only way out written into her destiny, as well as the sharpest blade in her path of revenge.
