Predator and Prey; we dance at the very edge of darkness.
The formidable cultivator and ruler of a mysterious domain, Xiuying is bound by duty, ambition, and an insatiable hunger for control. Her life is a wave of passion and chaos, entwined with the lives of her devoted wives, each of whom holds a unique place in her heart—and her plans.
When Xiuying crosses paths with Zhuang, a fierce and independent woman seeking to carve her own path, their fateful encounter sets off emotions neither can control. Zhuang, defiant and unwilling to be another piece in Xiuying’s puzzle of relationships, escapes the cultivator’s clutches only to find herself haunted by Xiuying’s presence, both in her dreams and waking life.
Is she destined to be consumed by the cultivator’s unrelenting passion, or can she reclaim her freedom without losing herself—or her heart?
