The daughters of the Ye family are born with the ability to communicate with spirits. From childhood, she was taught to guard this secret with her life.
Then, after being possessed by an evil spirit yet again, she was married into a powerful family to bring good fortune to a sick man through a twist of fate.
The third young master of the Gu family often wanders beyond his body. He is frail and beautiful, but not quite right in the head, and is forever getting jealous. The question he asks most often is: “Does your heart hold even the slightest affection for me, my lady?”
After being separated for years, they thought their relationship was over, but unexpectedly met again at a palace banquet.
Somehow, the fool had become a powerful chancellor, second only to The Outcast and above everyone else, controlling life and death while all flocked to his side.
Separated by years and the clamor of a palace hall filled with wine cups and laughter, she heard him ask, eyes red and voice trembling:
“Does your heart hold even the slightest affection for me, my lady?”
“Did you fake your death all those years ago for that young physician?”
“If you don't want me, then I'll die. That'll be the end of it.”
After all these years, he'd become even more deranged.
