The mad uncle-master’s forbidden protection, and the tearjerking moment a mother and daughter reunite
I cleanse my eyes of dust with autumn waters, yet cannot cleanse away the tribulation written in my fate. “I can see when everyone will die, but I can’t see that I’ll fall in love with you.”
Qingyu was born with the Wangchuan Autumn-Water Eyes. She could foresee death, but she couldn’t save anyone.
On the night her family was massacred, she watched her uncle-master slaughter them all, sparing only Lin Xun.
She thought he was the lone survivor, and tried desperately to find and protect him.
What she didn’t know was that she was the true “key.”
He was merely a puppet meant to take her place and bear her tribulation.
Every time she foresaw a death, another red mark appeared on her wrist.
When she gained all nine, she would become a new spirit of the realm, eternally bound to Qingming.
He formed a life-exchange pact for her, bearing every backlash in her place, and she never knew.
She pushed him away again and again, hoping to change his destined death.
But she didn’t know that pushing him away was what sent him down the road to ruin.
“You fell into evil for me; I’ll defy heaven for you.”
“But this world cannot hold two monsters.”
