The Chen family in Linhai has adhered to the iron law of "one head of the family" for hundreds of years: the head of the family must be a man, and all the remaining members will be killed.
No one knows that the so-called inheritance of destiny is just a scam by the Elders to raise puppets with "Bone Gu". If the head of the family dies, the Gu will change the chosen heir from female to male, erasing love and molding him into an obedient handprint tool.
Chen Lan, the second young lady of the Chen family, is the secret lover of the current head of the family, Chen Cang.
On a stormy night, Chen Cang fell off a cliff and died, leaving only half of his last words: "Pearl... Grandma... Don't let them take away your love..."
The eldest sister was seriously injured and there was no male in the clan. Chen Lan was pushed into the secret room to undergo a "replacement".
Bones are broken and memories collapse. She watched helplessly as her Adam's apple and sharp claws grew, and pieces of her lover's face peeled off in her mind.
In the body, the indifferent "new head of the family" is waking up and scorning the past; deep in the soul, the remaining girl's consciousness clutches the pearl and refuses to let go.
The Elder's House is waiting for her to become a perfect puppet, the eldest sister is sharpening her knife in secret, and the Zhao family's mother-gu is waiting in the capital to devour everything.
The time left for Chen Lan was to forget the stick of incense.
Either clear the Gu and survive and completely forget your loved one; or die keeping the memory and burn your soul to ashes.
She didn't want it. She wants to tear apart these hundreds of years of lies, with her body of half man and half woman, and with her fragmented memories——
Even if you change a pair of bones, you still have to fight for it.
Purpose: In the irreversible destruction of fate and body, stick to the dignity of self-awareness and love, and resist the materialization of human nature by feudal clans.
