Shen Zhuo is a walking poison vial. His blood is full of neurotoxins, and anyone who touches him dies. A descendant of Xiangliu and an underground-world antidote specialist, he lives as if he's just waiting to die.

Lu Qi is the leader of the Special Investigations Bureau's action team, a descendant of Yinglong. He's impossibly handsome, but his whole body is slowly turning to glass. His illness is incurable, and he has only a year left.

The only thing that can slow his petrification is Shen Zhuo's venom. And it has to make contact with a mucous membrane.

In other words, they have to kiss.

Shen Zhuo is forced to work as an external consultant for the Special Investigations Bureau. By day, Lu Qi works him like a mule. At night, in a deserted alley where no one can see them, Shen Zhuo rises onto his toes to “keep the cold-faced team leader alive.”

“Could you be a little gentler?” Shen Zhuo complained, wiping the corner of his mouth, where Lu Qi had bitten him.

Lu Qi wiped away the blood without expression. “This is treatment, not a date.”

Shen Zhuo: “...Are you a damn dog or something?”

A string of killings involving victims turned to stone ties them together. The crystals found on the victims are identical to the patterns on Lu Qi's face.

As the investigation deepens, Shen Zhuo discovers that his life is sliding from one quagmire into another...

And what unsettles him most is that he seems to be starting to care about this cold, glass-like man.

Poison dissolves in water, and water neutralizes poison. They are each other's antidote, and each other's poison.
