Su Jimo, an inheritor of mystical medicine, descended from the mountain to save her master and uncover the truth behind her parents’ deaths. She discovered that her master’s fate was bound to Xie Wujin’s: they would live and die together. So she agreed to take her cousin’s place and marry him. Everyone in the Xie household said she was a country girl who had married above her station, and waited to see her make a fool of herself. No one knew that her mastery of mystic medicine was peerless: she could save someone on the brink of death or make the wicked suffer the consequences of their own actions.
As for Xie Wujin, his fate was incomplete, and he had been tormented by dark energy for years, often losing control and descending into madness. The greatest doctors in the land were powerless to help him, and all said he wouldn’t live more than a few months. But Su Jimo declared, “I’m the only one who can save him!”
During one of his out-of-control episodes, he accidentally bit her neck. As soon as her blood touched his lips, the rage and pain that had tormented him for years receded like a tide, leaving behind a peace he had never known.
Only her blood could soothe him.
From then on, he became addicted to her.
By day, he was the Xie family’s heir, a man above all others. By night, he was Su Jimo’s plaything.
The story is very good, and the writing is beautiful.
This is a worthwhile article to read; I hope the author will publish the rest of his excellent work soon.
