With an inauspicious birth chart, an orphan, a short life, and no memories, how is she supposed to survive?
Jian Heng thinks she's the best person to answer those questions.
She grew up with all those labels. The Lu family adopted her, and for more than a decade she lived a sheltered, isolated life. The only person who could open the locked corners of her heart was Lu Sheng, the young master of the Lu family.
But her peaceful life was shattered overnight...
One day in mid-April, as the blood moon rose, dozens of members of the Lu family were killed by strange giant insects and a formation. They left no bodies behind. The only clue was a strange scrap of paper...
To take revenge, she has no choice but to leave behind the secluded life she has led for more than a decade and set out with Lu Sheng into the torrents of the mortal world.
Along the way, they encounter wandering ghosts, witness the deviousness of human nature, and see through all kinds of folk rituals, some foolish and some cruel. It is all as terrifying as a nightmare...
But before long, they discover that a far greater secret lies behind it all.
The path to revenge is shrouded in mystery, and some kinds of intimacy have been wrong from the very beginning...
