Six Fragrances

Cha Yu is reborn in the body of a mixed-blood slave whom everyone despises and finds repulsive. In life, the host often suffered fits and bit people. Before dying, a strange, mysterious fragrance drove her mad and delirious, until she tore out her own heart and killed herself. And the host was her half-sister, sharing the same mother. Cha Yu, once queen of a frontier tribe, is reborn, but the mysterious fragrance has stolen her heart. So where has the heart inside her gone? On the night she is reborn, just after escaping the threat of murder, Cha Yu encounters someone she once knew. “Shenci-jie.” The man's voice is bright and cheerful. Cha Yu's eyes snap open. Before her is a handsome man, his striking, dashing features impossible to hide in the moonlight. He crouches in front of her, dressed in a black, round-collared robe from the Central Plains. The handsome man smiles warmly. “We meet again.” She never imagined she would encounter that handsome man who died in battle on the frontier, the man who once saved her and, in her previous life, killed his own kin and seized power: the ghostly general Xie Hou. After learning that the mysterious fragrance is connected to an enemy nation's century-old corpse plague, a forbidden art used against the frontier, she bounces along in search of her heart. Later, Cha Yu falls in love with the ghost who helped her stop the corpse plague. But the man she has fallen for... is her dead sister's lover?! Then someone tears out her heart once again. With an empty chest, she sets off on her own and finally comes face-to-face with her own dead self. An ancient book says: “What are human emotions? Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, loathing, and desire: the seven feelings we possess without having to learn them.” How can six strands of intoxicating fragrance contain all seven human emotions?
