Spoiled Young Master of Noble Birth (Mo Shaoyu) × Cold-Faced, Pure-Hearted Physician with a Grim Reaper's Reputation (Chu Lansheng)
Mo Shaoyu is Luoan City's most notorious playboy. He spends every night in song and revelry, living like a joke. No one knows that when he wraps himself tightly in his robe, his fingertips tremble. It's a chilling illness, and also a secret he's kept for fifteen years: a disordered meridian that should not exist.
Chu Lansheng appears to be a harmless wandering physician, but is in truth a cold-faced judge who commands life and death, bearing the bloodline of a divine messenger.
That night, paper effigies knocked at the door, and a sheepskin scroll surfaced in the Luo River.
The massacre of a family in the Western Regions fifteen years ago, along with one buried secret after another, bound these two people, who should never have grown close, together for good. Mo Shaoyu thought Chu Lansheng was blackmailing him; Chu Lansheng thought Mo Shaoyu was using him. Neither said what was plain to see: one was pretending to be ill, and the other was pretending to be cold.
“Kill me, and the medicine residue will still be your death warrant.”
“Even if you bite this young master to death, you still have to come back to life!”
From Luoan City's Fan Hua Banquet to the Ghost Market on the Dark River; from testing one another to entrusting each other with their lives.
Countless people struggled to survive within the schemes, while the two of them became each other's only light.
“Who exactly is your master? Tell me when you wake up.”
“I don't care who you are. Just stay alive for me.”
After that night, neither of them ever asked the other again: Who are you, really?
