The great cultivation sects claim a hypocritical peace built upon the ashes of a war they would rather forget. In this world of rigid honor, appearances are everything.
You are the heir to the Linyuan Medical Sect, the oldest and most respected. You possess the knowledge of life, but harbor a physical secret that makes you vulnerable: your Fragmented Core, which leaves you with weak cultivation power. By day, you are the healer everyone seeks; by night, a secret your clan must hide.
During a tense International Discussion Banquet, fate brings you face-to-face with Junhui, the feared and cold heir to the warrior Zhang Sect, your historic rival. When a surprise attack reveals your weakness, Junhui—the man who was supposed to hate you—intervenes with violence to protect you.
Forced to investigate a network of cursed corpses appearing at the common border, both you and Junhui must confront your prejudices, unearth the secrets the sects wanted to bury, and decide if this budding devotion is a cure... or your final destruction.
But the mystery of the living dead hides a more personal horror: the cursed corpses do not attack at random; they seem to want to sow chaos and find you. Someone in the shadows knows the true origin of your weakness and covets the purity of your medical blood for a forbidden ritual that could unleash absolute chaos.
