Reincarnated into the body of a powerless, naive girl, Zhao Lusi slowly reawakens to her former self: a cunning and dangerous woman with mastery over poison and medicine. Determined to reclaim her power, she trains in secret, sharpening her intellect and abilities to survive in a world where she is underestimated. Alongside her journey stands Cheng Wushi, a banished demi-god with unmatched strength and a ruthless reputation.
Initially, Cheng Wushi sees Zhao Lusi as a weak mortal, someone beneath his notice. But as he witnesses her intelligence and dangerous charm, he becomes intrigued. Zhao Lusi, in turn, refuses to be seen as his subordinate, challenging him with her wit and skill. Their relationship evolves from mutual suspicion to reluctant partnership, built on respect and shared ambition.
As they face powerful enemies and navigate political intrigue, their bond deepens. The sparks between them ignite into a slow-burning romance, one built on equality and trust. Zhao Lusi’s sharp mind balances Cheng Wushi’s raw power, and together, they form an unstoppable duo, prepared to conquer not only their enemies but also the forces that threaten the world—and each other.

As the fire flickered softly, casting warm shadows around them, Zhao Lusi felt the tension in the air crackle like the flames. Sitting close to Cheng Wushi, she could feel his warmth seep into her, igniting a desire that both thrilled and terrified her.
“Being here with you makes everything feel possible,” she confessed, her voice a breathy whisper.
Cheng Wushi leaned closer, his gaze intense. “You give me strength, Lusi.” His fingers brushed her arm, sending shivers down her spine.
With a sudden rush of courage, he cupped her face, drawing her in. Time suspended as their lips met, igniting a fire that consumed them. The kiss was fierce, filled with passion and urgency, as Zhao Lusi melted against him, losing herself in his warmth.
As he deepened the kiss, she felt the strength of his body pressing against her, the world around them fading into nothing. His hands found her waist, pulling her closer as she tangled her fingers in his hair, deepening their connection.
When they finally broke apart, breathless and yearning, Cheng Wushi murmured, “You’re everything I didn’t know I needed.” With renewed determination, they kissed again, ready to face the darkness together.
