On the night of a lunar eclipse, Xie Wan was marked as the ill-fated lone star.
Growing up in a Taoist temple, Xie Wan returned home to find herself without her parents. She faced external threats from vicious wolves while dealing with younger brothers crying for food.
To make matters worse, her biased grandmother had her heart set on driving Xie Wan out of the residence.
A certain man said, "Enough with the preambles, get to the point!"

Meanwhile, on Ruhua's side, she had realized as soon as Bai He's palm struck that his claims were nothing more than baseless words. At that moment, her heart was in disarray, prompting her to feign a look of inspection and flee.


Shall I Burn It, Sir?
