When Zhaozhao was ten years old, she was brought back to the Marquis household as the true daughter. Her parents doted on her, her brother was close, and even the fake daughter treated her with warmth. Zhaozhao once thought she was dreaming, and she treated them with all her heart.
Until they personally sent her into the Tomb Guard City, a place that devours people whole, she realized she was merely brought back to exchange and protect the fake daughter.
For five years in the city, the Marquis household ignored her.
They let the sons of nobles from distinguished families use her as a punching bag, abusing and beating her, leaving no part of her intact.
She died in despair the day before she was to leave the city.
At the moment of her death, Zhaozhao awakened.
—
A hundred years ago, the ghostly gate opened, and the Ghost King led thousands of ferocious ghosts out of the underworld to wreak havoc on the world.
She was originally King Yan of the underworld, descended to experience trials due to dereliction of duty.
Once Zhaozhao opened her eyes again,
The world changed colors, and she held the Book of Life and Death, transforming into King Yan to claim lives.
Judging good and evil, slashing enemies.
Once she gathered eighty-one evil souls and captured the Ghost King, she could return to her position.
—
On the day she left the city, the Marquis couple and her brother came personally to pick her up.
Zhaozhao didn't even glance at them, turning to get into Prince Su's carriage.
Her parents cursed her as an ungrateful ingrate, and her brother sneered that she would come crying back to beg them.
Later, all of them knelt on the ground, crying, begging her to return home.
Zhaozhao watched coldly.
She would no longer want anything tainted.
—
Prince Su was born shrouded in Evil Qi, and anyone close to him would either die or be injured. Everyone thought he would be lonely for life.
He had a delicate young lady by his side.
She appeared to be pitiful and charming, but was ruthless and decisive behind the scenes.
Once she absorbed the Evil Qi and gathered the evil souls, Zhaozhao planned to pat her butt and leave.
Prince Su's eyes reddened, saying, "Zhaozhao, take this prince with you!"


The still-crying Dongfang Chenyue had her mouth covered.


Dongfang Chenyuan awkwardly pulled at the corners of his mouth and said, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! The Dongfang Family is predominantly female and rarely sees the birth of girls, so everyone dotes on Yue, spoiling her to the point of having a defiant temperament, liking to talk nonsense. Prince and Princess, please don't take it to heart."


Yu Nianzhao gave a half-smile, sensing Dongfang Chenyue's hostility towards her, she surely didn't think that what Chenyue said was nonsense.


This person treats her as a rival in love.


"The Prince is surrounded by evil qi, yet he's still attracting romance." Yu Nianzhao teased and then picked up the white jade Buddha beads for inspection.


"I only met her once when she was young, not sure what she's thinking." Xie Jiuxiao pursed his thin lips, thought for a while, and explained to her.
