Wen Yi was born with a nose attuned to the mysterious. She can smell the good and evil in people's hearts, distinguish yin from yang and detect evil spirits, and even sniff out a person's fate.
Everyone fears Fu Jueshen. Cool and taciturn, he carries an ominous aura, and several engagements have ended without a marriage. People say he's a jinx who brings death to his wives, and that no one should get close to him.
In a marriage arranged as a substitute, she is forced to marry into the Fu family.
The first time she draws close to him, an aura no one else can smell wafts into her nose:
The crisp scent of snow-covered pines enveloped in pure yang energy, clear and majestic, impervious to every evil.
He is nothing like an ominous god.
He is clearly the man fate has chosen for her, the one who can warm her chilled bones, steady her heart, and protect her in a life of peace.
After they marry, she quietly watches him.
She watches him go from distant courtesy to drawing closer, step by step;
She watches the aura around him grow gentler, changing from cold snow-covered pines to the fragrance of warm sunshine;
She knows before anyone else that this man, whom the outside world believes has no interest in women, has already given her the deepest love in his heart.
Later, conspiracies multiply and evil forces lurk. Some try to steal his fortune; others seek to destroy his fate.
She stands before him and says calmly:
"You can't see it, but I can smell it.
In his fate, from beginning to end, there is only me."
Love after marriage, their fates entwined.
She reads his heart through scent; he protects her with his life.
Of all the countless scents in this world, she longs only for his.
