Rebirth, metaphysical face-slapping, married first and falling in love later, real and fake heiresses, secret identities, mutual salvation, an obsessive and violent powerful man
In her previous life, Su Qing, the grandmaster of the mystic arts, was killed in a deadly plot. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a discarded bride who had grown up in the countryside.
From the start, she was packed off to the Lu family, one of the capital's top financial dynasties, to bring good fortune to Lu Yan, the “living King of Hell,” who was supposedly near death and went on a murderous rampage every full moon.
Everyone was waiting to see Su Qing torn to pieces.
On their wedding night, Lu Yan, overwhelmed by murderous energy, grabbed her by the throat.
Su Qing struck back with a golden needle, pinning the man in place, then pressed her lips to his and greedily drew in the “purple imperial aura” of his fate.
“I’ll keep you alive, and your imperial aura is mine. A fair exchange.”
After that, the capital's power circles were turned upside down.
The supposedly helpless young madam of the Lu family wielded feng shui and mystical techniques in one hand and golden needles in the other. She could determine life and death and reverse yin and yang, and countless powerful figures begged her to tell their fortunes.
Whenever forcing her magic caused her body to suffer backlash, the violent, sinister Master Lu would pin her against a wall, eyes red, and rasp, “I’ll give you my life. Take as much as you want, just don’t leave me.”
