An old castle. Iron bars. Eighteen years.
Her name is Wenyin. She is the Zhou family's "second young lady," and also their most valuable sacrificial offering.
Then, one day, Shen Rang came.
He knelt on the ground and said, "Good day, miss." When he looked up, his eyes were as clear as still water. But that very night, he pushed her into the bathtub and kissed her until she could barely breathe.
"You belong to me now."
He said he would take her away. And he did.
A butterfly knife spun. The Sun and Moon Blade was drawn. Blood splashed across the sky.
He stood in front of her like a wall that would never fall.
But only later did she learn that the blood from her heart could undo the curse of the Ghost-Slaying Blade. The Zhou family had raised her for eighteen years, waiting for the day her heart was fully mature.
Later still, she learned that to find her, Shen Rang had made a bargain with the spirit in the blade: one-fifth of his soul in exchange for her life.
"You shouldn't have saved me."
"My mom and dad don't want me anymore," he sobbed, holding her tight. "Meeting you is the first time I've had family."
But neither of them knew that she had fallen in love with him.
