Free novel, begins once it reaches 100 saves!
Huo Zhen was the ninth son of the emperor. Because strange omens appeared in the sky when he was born, he was raised outside the palace to cultivate. One day, he went to Qinglong Temple to seek his master's guidance on Buddhist teachings. Following a young novice's directions, he went to the bamboo grove behind the mountain.
The wind roared, green leaves swayed, and beneath the dappled shadows of the bamboo, he glimpsed a woman in crimson with long black hair cascading down. She lifted her skirt and studied her injury. Her beautifully shaped leg, beneath the hem of her snowy gauze skirt, was stained with a shocking red.
Her eyes seemed far away, but when she saw him, they suddenly came alive.
From then on, this woman appeared in his dreams again and again. The dreams were wild and sensual, with curtains swaying and never coming to an end.
He thought she was a mountain spirit come to ensnare his soul.
Later, he offered her his heart and soul, only to learn that what she wanted was his life.

Years later, the first snow fell on Misheng Ferry. The hand of the new emperor, Huo Zhen, gripping the umbrella's shaft had turned blue-white from the cold. He tugged at her skirt and said in a hoarse voice, "Lingrou, don't remove the curse from me."
"My name is Wu Guanyun, the Great Priestess of Southern Yunnan, Wu Guanyun." Wu Guanyun looked down at him with a cold laugh. "Besides, when did I ever put a curse on Your Majesty?"
She shared nights beneath the wind and moon with him, traveling across a thousand miles of mountains and rivers.
She also stood by his side as they unraveled the intrigues of the imperial court.
And she led him into a deadly trap from which there could be no return.
