Rain Sweeps Through, Fire Consumes the River

[Irreverent, good-for-nothing heroine's comeback x all-around male nanny, a fortune-telling Daoist doctor]

[As for their health bars: the heroine loses hers, and the hero refills it]

While Yu Siyao was still in the womb, a wandering old Daoist cast her fortune and declared, "You bear an unusual fate. Your ties to your family are thin, your gifts will bring you trouble, and you are destined for a lonely, bitter life."

Sure enough, on the night Yu Siyao was born, the Rain Master Valley became the Rain Master Graveyard. She was the only survivor amid a storm of bloodshed.

She had no talent for martial arts, no family to support her, and a face that was somewhat frightening on one side. Branded the "Lone Star of Misfortune," she was nevertheless betrothed to the clan leader's youngest son, who possessed a divine martial soul.

Now she was a target everyone hated even more.

Everyone bullied her for being useless, and she was indeed the most useless of all: from childhood onward, she never dodged a single open attack or hidden arrow.

Fortunately, she had a thick health bar and a stubborn will to live, making it to the age of fifteen.

What sustained her fierce will to survive and her abundant vitality?

Revenge, of course!

She kept a record of every open attack and hidden arrow. Only with that thick book of grudges beneath her pillow could she sleep well.

In her dreams, she was the one with the divine martial soul, wielding supreme power and following the "Death Note" she'd written herself to rip the flesh from everyone who had ever bullied her...

But when she woke, she was still the good-for-nothing, a once-in-a-century failure on the Martial Reverence Continent, her meridians dried up and her combat ability worse than a monkey's.

She questioned fate again and again, until she met that scheming young Daoist...

At last, the wheels of fate began to turn.

She seized the glimmer of hope the wandering old Daoist had left her and leapt from the Jiang clan's dead end toward her own path to survival.

Strangely enough, Yu Siyao had known desire but not emotion for as long as she could remember.

She desired possession, revenge, and destruction, but had never experienced gratitude, joy, pain, or fear...

The only emotions she seemed to have were anger, jealousy, and resentment.

She had never shed a single tear, even when she was bullied and abused until her skin split and her flesh was torn.

For fifteen years, she had tried to act like a normal person.

But after meeting that Daoist, she slowly began to change.

What was taking root and sprouting in the barren wasteland of her heart...
