【Blurb】
Yue Gui cut her own face, and as her tears rolled down, they fell like drops of blood.
She never imagined that a single sentence from her could frighten to death an emperor who ruled over all under heaven and wielded the sword without hesitation. Nor could she have imagined that the compassionate Mountain God would defy the wrath of Heaven for her, losing his life and vanishing from the world.
Self-blame, guilt, remorse, and despair were all shackles forged from sin.
Bearing them, how could she go on living?
Yue Bai knew from the very beginning that Yue Gui had pulled him back from the brink of death for reasons other than the goodness of her heart.
She was cold to everyone, as if she had no heart at all.
Everyone, that is, except the compassionate Mountain God.
Thankfully, she was dead.
“Gui-niang, I know I don’t deserve you, but I’ll do my best. I only ask that you let me stay by your side.”
“Ah Bai, I’ve only ever used you. If that’s what it takes to bring A Luo back, I can sacrifice anything, including you.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll never turn you away. You don’t have to go to the trouble of keeping me prisoner.”
During the Kaiyuan era, Chang’an, the western capital, was a city of brocade and splendor, grand and magnificent.
In one medical clinic, every request was answered, and humans and other beings came and went.
