When she met him, she was an orphan who had come to the capital to search for her father, and he was a gentle, refined young prince. On a snowy night, he helped her to her feet after she lost the people she loved. From then on, she went to Mount Tian to learn martial arts and returned to Luodu to become a thief, all to keep him safe. Even after time had passed and neither of them was the same as in their youth, her purpose remained unchanged.
When she met him, she was a poor girl from a desolate village, a petty thief from the streets. As the esteemed God of Detectives, he was determined to educate her and set her on the right path. Little did he expect that she would lead him further and further astray, until the mighty man fell for a little girl's bewitching tricks.
But as he draws ever closer, can she still keep secret the fact that she is the "Blood Swallow" he has devoted himself to hunting?
As the past resurfaces piece by piece and layer after layer of masks falls away, all she can do as she holds him while he sleeps is say, "You're so wonderful, but I have no second lifetime to make another promise to you..."
