Xie Wuwu, the master of the Hall of Life and Death, has practiced Yin Xie Gong to the extreme, and is violent and wanton. Mo Ying, the leader of the Shadow Guard, is his only "living medicine guide".
In order to suppress the bone-gnawing cold poison, Mo Ying used his body as a weapon for ten years to withstand the erosion of the cold air, in exchange for a place beside Xie Wuwang. He knew that he was as humble as dust, so he turned his affection into silent endurance, thinking that in this life he was just a useful "chess piece". When the master of the palace recovered, his value would be lost and he would be abandoned like a pair of worn shoes.
The new favorite Shen Qingqiu enters the game, causing Mo Ying to fall into an identity crisis; his colleague Chi Xiao covets the leadership position and presses hard to put him to death. When the hidden miracle doctor reveals the possibility of a cure, Mo Ying refuses the medicine and commits suicide out of fear of "falling out of favor" - if it is no longer the medicine that leads me, how can I still love you?
This crazy move finally tore through Xie Wuwang's cold defense, and he was shocked to realize that this broken body had already been engraved into his bones and blood. He shattered the illusion, held the power in his hand, held Mo Ying from the shadow guard as a treasure in his palm, and declared to the whole world: Although the cold poison has been cured, there is no cure for this bone-deep addiction in this life, and there is no need to cure it again.
This is a love story that begins with exploitation, sinks into humiliation, and ends with deep love and redemption.
Intention: Intention: To break the shackles of "instrumental" self and interpret love as redemption rather than use. Through the protagonist's transformation from "surviving with illness" to "coexisting with one's heart", the story shows that even in darkness and humility, true love can penetrate pain, turn twisted possession into the only cherishment, and make incomplete souls complete each other.
