[A little angst and sweet doting + revenge + secret identities + one-on-one romance]
She was the cherished young princess of Prince Lin's residence in the Lin'an Dynasty, showered with love by everyone around her.
In a single night, her father died in battle, her mother passed away from illness, and a blazing fire consumed the entire estate.
That night, the innocent little girl was lost forever in the flames, becoming a taboo no one among the royal family and nobility dared mention.
Ten years later, the legendary ghost doctor Jueyin, said to bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bone, appeared in Lin'an. Dressed in red as vivid as blood, with needles hidden at her fingertips, she walked the line between good and evil and could take a life in an instant.
She was no longer the sheltered young princess of the past. She was a vengeful spirit returned from hell.
He was the very person everyone in the Lin'an Dynasty avoided: the fearsome Prince Jing'an.
On the battlefield, he was the borderlands' dreaded god of slaughter, decisive and ruthless. At court, he was the emperor's most beloved son and the object of his brothers' bitter hatred.
The people feared and revered him, yet were terrified of him too. Even the emperor was deeply wary of him. No one knew that every month he endured the agony of a venomous parasite gnawing at his heart and bones.
Then, on one full-moon night, she burst into his world like a beam of light in the darkness.
From then on, he reined in all his cold ruthlessness and willingly became the blade in her hand, smoothing the path of her vengeance.
Everyone knew Prince Jing'an doted on and protected the mysterious ghost doctor, but no one knew that he had once stood against imperial power and drawn her into his arms, taking all her blood and hatred upon himself. “Little Jiu, more than the world, I want you. Even if I must stand against the whole world, I will protect only you. That is enough for this lifetime.”
