A wild girl responsible for feeding the dogs at a dilapidated Taoist temple: a murderer, arsonist, habitual liar, manipulator of hearts, and thoroughly wicked in every way…
That damned old Taoist called her a scourge destined to ruin the nation and said it was her fate, all because she was impossibly beautiful. She didn’t believe in fate. She would change hers! So one night, she set a fire and burned hundreds of people to death, all of them people who stood in the way of her changing her fate…
Word is that the only son of the Marquis of Changxing has a congenital heart condition and is searching for someone whose birth chart matches his, someone who can change his fate. As it happens, she’s very good at changing fates…
Warnings: The female lead is sweet on the outside and dark within, an exceptionally wicked woman and peerless beauty, born with an alluring figure. She’ll stop at nothing to achieve her goals and may deliberately toy with other people’s feelings. There are all sorts of scenes that don’t fit the characters’ ancient setting, with plenty of whimpering and moaning…
Name origins: They say the heir to the Marquis of Changxing has a heart condition caused by a lack of Fire among the Five Elements, and needs someone with strong Fire energy to replenish it. Ye Zhao is that person. Zhao is associated with powerful Fire, making it the perfect remedy for Ye Xian’s lack of Fire in his destiny. Xian represents the constraints of fate, while Zhao means illuminating the righteous path and breaking through the deadlock into the light.
“Bound by the rules × the one who breaks through with light.”
