Dreams Shattered in the Hidden Pavilion

Jing'er was abandoned at birth and raised by a doctor at a medical clinic. She mastered exceptional medical skills but was repeatedly ostracized by her peers. She deftly navigated their schemes, then was rescued from danger by a general's son. They came to know and love each other, and pledged to marry. But on the way to their wedding, she was hunted by the Xiao family's enemies and captured on Fulong Mountain, where she endured the agony of having her phoenix bones broken and suffered all manner of torture. The martial world had once been a place where she could freely settle scores, but Jing'er now relied on her one great skill to outwit her enemies. The appearance of her birth mother left everyone stunned. Amid enemies, family ties, false affection, and the pain of parting in life and death, Jing'er experienced the full range of life's warmth and cruelty, struggling onward through it all.
