He is Li Jinhan, a regent who wields power over all and sees every living soul as an ant. Born to rule, he believes falling in love is a disgrace, yet he finds himself falling for the daughter of his enemy.
She is Gan Tiantian, a lone girl whose family was destroyed and who lives in seclusion deep in the mountains. With her soft features and a burning desire for vengeance against those who slaughtered her family, she nevertheless falls quietly for the domineering man who risked his life to protect her when they first met.
The words “remnant of the Gan family” ignite the fuse of eight years of hatred and resentment. A blood pact binds them together, beginning a hell where humiliation and possession go hand in hand.
He is clearly in love, yet insists on acting disgusted. “A lowly body like yours isn’t worth a second glance from me.” But when she collapses after testing poison, he saves her life with his own heart’s blood, his eyes red with emotion.
She holds on to the affection she felt when they first met, enduring everything, only to be crushed again and again by his arrogance and suspicion. “Li Jinhan, you said loving me would disgrace you. But you don’t know that I once saw you as my only light.”
A military tally hidden in the heart, a soul-devouring spell that binds their spirits, and misunderstandings layered upon misunderstandings: love and hate pull them to the brink.
When the truth finally comes out, he lays aside all his pride and kneels before her to atone. “Tiantian, I was wrong. There’s nothing disgraceful about loving you.”
But can a heart that’s been crushed ever be made whole again?
A tragic romance that begins with falling in love and ends in madness. What is love, really? He thinks she’s a disgrace, yet loves her until he loses his mind; she hates him to the bone, yet once loved him with all her heart.
