--Frailty-stricken heiress VS obsessive, unhinged High Priest--
Shen Yuyan, a wealthy young woman from the capital, had been frail since childhood, and no medicine could cure her.
Hearing that a Miao village held a remedy that could prolong her life, she traveled alone to Miao territory to ask the High Priest to treat her.
The mountain moon bore witness, and the gu insects sealed their pact.
In the quiet Miao village, she and the aloof, solitary High Priest gradually grew close, and she became immersed in the tenderness he showed only to her.
Once her chronic illness was cured, she longed for her home in the capital. Ignoring Cang Qingjiu's attempts to stop her, she even wounded him and fled the village.
But after she returned, her parents had eyes only for their newborn son. Their former darling daughter had long since been forgotten.
Through the endless nights, she kept falling into enchanting dreams, where she and the man in them were locked in an endless embrace.
But those nightly dreams were no fantasy. The Miao priest had truly crossed countless mountains to find her and forcibly abduct her back to the southern borderlands.
"You used my medical skills to prolong your life, then abandoned me as soon as you were cured."
Cold fury surged in his eyes as he fed her a love gu with his own hands.
You abandoned me, so the love gu will be your price.
As the gu gnawed at her heart, love and hatred intertwined. From now on, her heart would no longer be her own, and yearning would be her punishment. For all eternity, she would never be allowed to escape again.
