[Strong heroine + unhinged Sentinel + devoted loyalist + revenge-driven return + mutual healing + romantic battlefield + rabid dog falling for her on his own + not an instant power fantasy]
The Silver Vow Case once rocked Holy White City, and many parties profited from it. The only one who paid the price was Bai Yinhui, an S2+ Guide: disowned by her family, exiled, forced to undergo a “mental severance procedure,” and betrayed by her fiancé. It could hardly have been worse.
But Bai Yinhui was never a “helpless exiled Guide in need of protection.” She was the eye of the storm itself. Her gland, her past, and the alliances she forged would all become levers to pry at the foundations of Holy White City.
The Guide-Sentinel alliance began with calculation, was cemented by mutual gain, tested by life and death, and ultimately tempered by a resonance of souls into a bond more complicated than love and heavier than a vow.
In a world without innocents, the Guide-Sentinel alliance would become each other’s only “sin” and “salvation.”
The true war was quietly escalating, amid the undercurrents of pheromones and the flames of iron and blood.
