In the third year of the Zhenqing era, demons run rampant. The Human Emperor offers a hundred thousand gold pearls to invite the Sword Pavilion out of seclusion and put down the monsters.
Among those escorting the pearls is someone of special status: Li Hanzhi, the dynasty's second prince.
Ye Cuihua possesses a sword-born physique and is a natural genius. The Sword Pavilion's eldest daughter, who admires the strong, looks down on this frail prince.
Her succinct assessment of Li Hanzhi: "Weakling."
She doesn't like this boy.
Ye Cuihua believes men should be like her senior brothers: able to roar once and frighten demons into submission, with solid, bronze-colored muscles and the strength to shatter a mountain-guarding stone with one punch!
Until one day, Li Hanzhi is injured while taking a sword strike for her. Ye Cuihua opens his thin outer robe and catches sight of two faintly pink points on his pale chest--
Ye Cuihua: "(⊙o⊙)..."
The Mei clan are born with frail bodies, but they are gifted at captivating hearts and are extraordinarily beautiful. Most can find a "human master" to protect them.
When Ye Cuihua learns that Li Hanzhi belongs to the Mei clan, she sits alone on a mountaintop for a long while.
She's troubled.
The love-struck girl can't figure out whether her feelings for Li Hanzhi come from his innate bewitching powers or from her own heart.
And does Li Hanzhi... truly like Ye Cuihua for who she is, or does he only want her protection?
When Li Hanzhi learns of her doubts, he merely smiles faintly and says nothing.
That night, he stabs himself in the heart with a short dagger. As his eyes turn blood-red and his Mei spirit is about to dissipate, Li Hanzhi watches Ye Cuihua anxiously pull him into her arms. His voice hoarse, he smiles faintly and says:
"I'll drain the demon blood from my body and carve out my Mei bones, so you can discover what you truly feel."
