[Quirky young book peddler x dashing, carefree young general]
One is the child of a great general and a bearer of auspicious fortune.
The other is a book peddler in the capital, doomed to a demonic fate.
1.
“Black blood. This is surely a dire omen!”
When she was born, they tested her blood to confirm her parentage, only for the blood to come out black. Her parents took her as an ill omen and abandoned her in the wilderness, where she was fortunately taken in by the fortune-teller Lin Lao.
From then on, she hid from the world and made a living selling books, all while searching for a mystical art that could break her blood pact and purge her demonic blood.
2.
She heard that Lu Jingshen, the auspicious child of the nation, had been born on the same day as her. He was handsome and debonair, with a reputation for womanizing.
3.
The capital was a place of turmoil and intrigue. The Bureau of Unusual Affairs served the emperor, secretly investigating sensitive matters. Everyone feared them, and the officials dreaded them.
By chance, the Bureau's commander took her in as a disciple. To help her master carry out the emperor's orders, she sneaked into the general's residence alone, only to be caught by Lu Jingshen...
After dealing with Lu Jingshen for a while, she found that her master had been right: although Lu Jingshen seemed frivolous, he was actually shrewd and far from simple.
