A restorer of cultural relics from the Forbidden City accidentally awakened the ancestor of the ancient blood clan in the painting, and from then on he was bound to a life-and-death blood contract - he waited for her for three thousand years, just to kill her with his own hands.
Shen Qingyan, a restorer of cultural relics in the Forbidden City, has a pair of skillful hands that can bring a new life to thousand-year-old fragments.
Until late that night, she cut her finger while repairing a Warring States silk painting, and a drop of blood fell into the eye of the person in the painting.
The painting comes alive. The ancient general wearing black armor in the painting slowly opened his eyes and said four words to her:
"Finally found you."
His name is Ye Wuyuan, and he is the ancestor of the Eastern Night Clan who was transformed by Chi You's blood curse three thousand years ago - the only monster not affected by the blood moon. He waited for three thousand years, just to find her reincarnation of Wu Zhu in the last life, kill her, and lift the blood curse.
But she is no longer the high priest in her previous life. She is Shen Qingyan, who can repair cultural relics, scold people gently, and stuff a hot water bottle into his arms when his old injuries relapse.
He couldn't do it.
The blood contract was forced to be established, and she became his "contractor" - controlled, imprisoned, and involved in the internal fighting of the Night Clan and the curse of the Blood Moon. And when the truth was peeled off layer by layer, she discovered that she was not the container of accidental birth, but the "antidote" created by her mother herself. Her existence, from the very beginning, was to save everyone—except herself.
Three thousand years of curse, three thousand years of waiting, three thousand years of hate and love.
On the day of the blood moon, she must make a choice:
Use everything you have to exchange for him to live in the sun.
Or, let him kill her with his own hands and end all sins.
This is a story about redemption and counter-redemption.
