On the day she became the powerful prime minister, she died at the hands of her biological father. Her brother stepped on her corpse and became famous. And she died quietly in the prime minister’s mansion in the cold spring night. It was her wife who she had never seen once, who collected her corpse for her, set fire to the prime minister’s mansion, and finally committed suicide with a sword in front of her grave. When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the eighteenth year of Zhenfeng. It was the year when she had just passed the imperial examination and was in high spirits. She rode a horse through the streets, and suddenly raised her eyes and saw a man standing by the pavilion with a crowd on his left and right, looking at her quietly from top to bottom. Vermilion mole, red lips, beautiful beyond compare. In her eyes are endless sparks. It was not until this life that Qiu Che finally knew that the bad fate in her previous life, which she thought was obtained by despicable calculation, was actually the fate that Li Qingwu had sought after three bows and nine kowtows in the Golden Palace. She is Li Qingwu, a model of a lady from a noble family, and she is a rebellious person only once in her life. It is also the one that the other party has been seeking for countless days and nights. -------------------------------------------------------- You can also join my patreon for more chapters, just search: Crimson_Lore Patreon

The man, too, was cursed with a life without emotions, yet he possessed something rare—a unique form of jōki that did not require emotions to manifest. Taking Luka under his wing, the stranger trains him before passing down his extraordinary power, unknowingly painting a target on Luka’s back. Now, armed with an ability he barely understands and hunted by those who seek to claim it, Luka must navigate a world that has never accepted him.

With enemies closing in, Luka embarks on a dangerous journey to find his missing sister, uncover the secrets of jōki, and confront the dark forces that will stop at nothing to control his power.
