In an age when supernatural abilities reign supreme, Su Xingmian inherited none from her parents. After they died, her uncle’s family abused her. She thought Ran Bai would be her salvation, only to have him slash her face and leave her disfigured. Bound by a promise made years ago, Su Xingmian marries into the Gu family, the foremost of the five great clans. Rumor has it that her husband is coldhearted and hideous. But for Xingmian, this may be her chance at a new life.
At the Gu residence, Gu Ye is just as cold as the rumors claim, always hiding behind a mask. Fortunately, the people there treat her well. For Xingmian, who has no supernatural abilities at all, that is already more than she could hope for.
As they spend more time together, the two grow familiar with each other and open their hearts. Xingmian also gains supernatural powers and grows stronger and stronger. No longer insecure or timid, she becomes strong enough to protect her family…
