Cool writing + devious ways + one of the strongest female protagonists
Si Yuansheng, the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, was almost drowned by her biological parents because of the birth date of Yuan Ziye. Sheng Tian, the first concubine of the royal family, figured out that her bloodline was strange and took her back to the mountains to practice.
Si Yuansheng learned martial arts and tricks, but because he missed his relatives, he was tricked by his biological parents on his fifteenth birthday into going home and having his flesh cut and bloodletted.
When he was dying, he had no choice but to use the forbidden technique to attract the soul, but he still could not escape from the devil's cave, and ended up with a incomplete body and died in the fire.
Si Yuansheng's master, Sheng Tianxin, spent all his energy and blood in order to ensure that the young disciple with an incomplete soul could be reborn.
She also used her own experience to teach Si Yuansheng that people are inherently evil.
From then on, Si Yuansheng returned to Kyoto with the curse of his master's essence and blood, and was about to fulfill his destiny of overcoming his relatives, the clan, and the fate of the country!
In order to survive, she must avenge herself, and the curse of essence and blood against the soul requires her to kill all the Sheng family bloodline!
But she unexpectedly met Prince Zaoyao whose fate had been changed!
That young man whose love is as deep as the sea, whose destiny is eternal, and who is willing to give up everything for her, is also named Sheng!
What a good thing!
Is it to fulfill oneself or to let go for love?
PS: The heroine is a side branch of the Taoist sect. She is good at Yin evil, essence and blood, and soul confinement techniques, but her roots are inherited from the ancient Huanglao and Fulu techniques. The framework of the techniques (pinch, draw talismans, and Bu Gang) are connected with the orthodox Taoism, and the heroine has the golden finger of "Xueyoutan"! Blood contract forbidden spells and other backlash are extremely ineffective against the heroine, but they are not impossible at all!
I feel like this male protagonist is going to become bad later on
