She is his tribulation; he is her death.
The day Su Qingyuan had nowhere left to turn, a pawnshop appeared out of thin air.
She pawned a lifetime of love to clear her father's name and restore her mother's health.
The moment she signed the contract, she became a woman without a heart.
Shi Heng has been the pawnshop's proprietor for ten thousand years. He has no feelings or desires and is beyond the cycle of reincarnation.
He has seen too many people pawn their true feelings, only to regret it bitterly.
He thought he would never fall in love.
That was until the girl who pawned her love came to him on the fifteenth of every month to collect the blood from his heart.
She neither cried nor smiled. Her eyes were empty.
But her tears burned through ten thousand years of his solitude.
The Heavenly Way has decreed: If the proprietor falls in love, his soul will be scattered.
He should push her away, yet whenever she is in danger, he is there behind her.
He should forget her, yet whenever she asks, “Who saved me?” he walks away in silence.
At last, when her memories return, she asks him through her tears, “Why didn't you tell me?”
He wipes away her tears, his voice gentle:
“Because I am your death sentence, and you are the rest of my life.”
She pawned her love, believing she would have no weakness left.
He was a heartless proprietor, yet for her, he broke rules that had stood for ten thousand years.
An intensely forbidden romance full of angst, painful at first and sweet later, with both saving each other.
Reader's guide: 1. The heroine truly has no heart. 2. The hero really will die. 3. The ending is happy, so dive right in.
