At eighteen, Yan Yuqing learned for the first time that she had a Gu inside her.
The Gu was harmless, and could even make her immune to other Gu. It had only one side effect: she occasionally craved blood. After she accidentally drank the blood of a Miao youth traveling with her, the craving became harder and harder to suppress.
The Miao youth, beautiful enough to be mistaken for a girl, thought nothing of it. He even offered her his arm to bite on a regular basis.
Yan Yuqing: ...What a strange person.
The Chanyue Gu had been passed down through the generations in Chuyun Stockade. The stockade chief possessed the Chan Gu, while the young chief possessed the Yue Gu. If the Chan Gu died, the Yue Gu would perish as well. The holder of the Yue Gu had to provide blood to the holder of the Chan Gu every month.
On the day Chu Zhixi received the Yue Gu, Chuyun Stockade was destroyed. His father, who should have possessed the Chan Gu, died, yet Chu Zhixi remained alive.
He traveled north alone and happened to discover that the Chan Gu was inside a northern girl named Yan Yuqing.
The first time he fed Yan Yuqing his blood, Chu Zhixi thought that he would find an opportunity to take back the Chan Gu. He absolutely could not let someone else hold his life in their hands.
Later, he thought that Yan Yuqing was highly skilled in martial arts and would not die, so it would be fine to leave the Chan Gu inside her for the time being.
And on the day Yan Yuqing kissed him of her own accord, Chu Zhixi thought: Why not just keep things this way for the rest of our lives?
We share one life. We will never be apart.
