Her name is Xia Lanyin, the only daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan and a Junzhu personally ennobled by the emperor.
Headstrong and willful?
Yes.
Smart enough to handle herself?
Of course.
She never curries favor with anyone, not even the emperor. Yet just by standing there, she can make people willingly die for her.
On her way back to the capital, she came across a pregnant woman being dragged to the “Tower of Mercy” to await death. One crack of her whip saved a life and uncovered a century-old tragedy: bones piled high inside the tower, the vengeful spirits of dead infants raging within. Even stranger, two words were carved into the top of the tower: Bone Lantern.
After that, one supernatural incident followed another: a Bone Lantern Shrine where those who lit a lamp to see a loved one died within seven days; Peach Blossom Village, where a woman was “married to the mountain god” once every three years; a beauty curse that aged noblewomen overnight; and painted skins that claimed lives the moment they were finished...
With every case she solves, she draws closer to the truth. Every incident points to the same mastermind.
And Zhou Du, the taciturn bodyguard ordered to “protect” her, is a man of mysterious origins who risks his life to shield her every time.
She asks him, “Don't you care if you die?”
He doesn't answer.
Because he doesn't dare say it: he loves her without reason, without asking for anything in return, and without even needing her to know.
Eight supernatural cases, three hundred lives, one shocking conspiracy. She doesn't rely on a male lead; she relies on her own wits.
And the moment she stood before him, he was already in love.
The Junzhu Is Not to Be Trifled With: Watch a headstrong Junzhu outsmart her way through every crisis, and a stoic bodyguard confess his love with his life.
