[A seemingly gentle but secretly dark, obsessive villainous male lead vs. a resilient, growing female lead] (Both pure + mutual redemption)
An unfinished bond from ten thousand years ago has become a fated entanglement in this life, a trial she can never overcome.
Yun Si descended to the mortal realm to accompany Rong Heng through one cycle of human reincarnation, never expecting him to fall into demonic ways.
She is the celestial maiden of Western Shu, coveted by every kingdom. He is Rong Heng, a prince maneuvering at every turn in the struggle for the throne.
His greatest threat is not his political enemies, but an ancient artifact: the Qiankun Jade Vase.
It can purify evil and suppress the dark forces he secretly cultivates. To eliminate the threat once and for all, he must find it and destroy it completely.
Rong Heng had calculated every move, yet never imagined that one day he would cut off his own arm for her and set years of painstaking effort ablaze.
To keep her locked at his side, he did not hesitate to drop his mask and imprison her in the Eastern Palace with a marriage contract.
On their wedding night, the moment he lifted the bridal veil, he was met with a face that looked seventy percent like hers.
And his bride had run off with another man.
Helan Si once believed she had met the most tender, wonderful person in the world.
Until she witnessed his ruthless, unscrupulous side...
Late at night, in the silent, wooded hills behind the mountain.
Rong Heng tilted his head slightly and narrowed his eyes, his cool gaze fixed on the familiar silhouette.
The clearing in the woods was speckled with fresh blood, clearly left behind after someone had just been dealt with.
In that instant, every little detail, every romantic notion the young woman had cherished, shattered completely.
“So all along, you've been deceiving me.”
Her cool voice was very soft, very soft.
Nice and compact plot
