Xu Luoxi, the cherished daughter of the Xu family in Jiangnan, was branded with a false diagnosis of “congenital heart disease” by a dishonest doctor when she was just five months old. She was used as a medicinal offering to prolong the lives of the powerful, and died horribly when her heart was cut out. Her parents were consumed by grief, unaware that their beloved daughter had already died with a grudge in her heart.
A public outcry for justice and an investigation dossier from the Dali Temple expose a horrifying case: eight children wrongly killed over the past three years. On the day justice is served, Gu Rongrong climbs the steps to Jing'an Temple, bowing at every step to fulfill her vow. She does not know that the golden light piercing the temple hall carries Luoxi’s lingering soul back into her womb.
After ten months in the womb, Nianxi is born. She is Luoxi returned, carrying memories of her past life and the ability to hear people’s thoughts, back at her parents’ side.
Her childish words startle a maid with a guilty conscience, while her perceptive eyes see through people’s schemes. This time, she is no helpless infant to be slaughtered at will, but the Xu family’s most precious guardian. By hearing people’s thoughts and discerning good from evil, she protects her parents and keeps them safe year after year, crushing every cruelty and conspiracy beneath the light of day.
One bowl of heart’s blood connects two lifetimes. Though she carried hatred from her past life, this life brings everything to a happy ending.
