Si’s son and Feng’s daughter were destined to love for three lifetimes.

“I’m back. You’ve waited so long!” said Si Mobai.

The dungeon was dark and damp. The stench of rotten bodies hung in the air. Chains clanked in the wind, crying out for someone to shackle. Ah! Ah! Ah! cried the chains, sending shivers down your spine like a vengeful ghost seeking souls.

A bloodied figure sat in a dimly lit corner. With her limbs chained and head hanging low, her face was not visible. Only a skinless, bloody chin. Blood dripped to the ground, drop by drop.

A handsome man stood in front of her in lavish clothes. Beside him, an unrivaled beauty in a white dress held a piece of bloody human skin, a stark and ironic contrast to her pure, fairy-like aura.

“Why?” asked the bloodied figure hoarsely, her tone indistinguishable.

Why did he deceive her? Why did he drain her blood? Why did he dig up her bones and peel off her skin? Why?!

“It’s because Ya’er is the one I love. Because of your exceptional talent for enlightenment, your blood is medicine for her illness. You’re a good-for-nothing, and your existence is a stumbling block to her future.”

“Jiang Ying!” the bloodied figure raised her head and shrieked harrowingly. His words broke her heart.

“Jiang Ying, I have something to say to Shen Qingdai,” said the fairy-like Shen Yunya, her voice clear as crystalline streams.

Jiang Ying glanced with disgust at the bloodied figure, then looked at Shen Yunya with eyes as gentle as water. “Be careful of her. Mad dogs bite, and their bites are poisonous.”

Shen Yunya nodded slightly, and Jiang Ying left. Now, only Shen Yunya and the bloody chained-up Shen Qingdai remained in the dungeon. She raised her head to look at the bloodied figure and lifted her lips into her usual innocent smile. She shook the human skin in her hands and asked, “Shen Qingdai, how do you feel about being deboned and skinned alive by the man you love?”
