Di dunia Qingxia Realm, setiap manusia diwajibkan membangkitkan inti spiritual sebelum usia 18. Siapa pun yang gagal, terutama perempuan, akan dijadikan tumbal ritual atau dijual sebagai selir kelas bawah bagi bangsawan korup. Lian Yue, gadis dari Klan Lian, telah dicap sebagai “gadis tanpa bakat”. Sejak kecil dia dihina, disisihkan keluarga, dan dianggap tidak berguna. Malam sebelum ulang tahunnya yang ke-18—hari terakhir sebelum nasibnya ditentukan—dia menemukan lukisan kuno yang terlarang di gudang lama Klan Lian. Saat darahnya menetes pada lukisan itu, tersegel sebuah roh kuno pria muncul: Xuan Nightblade, Kaisar Iblis terakhir yang ribuan tahun lalu diberangus para dewa. Terikat oleh kutukan, ia menempati tubuh Lian Yue sebagai wadah sementara. Keduanya berbagi napas, emosi, bahkan desir halus hasrat yang tidak pernah Lian Yue pahami sebelumnya. Ikatan itu membuat tubuh Lian Yue dipenuhi energi gelap yang kuat—kekuatan yang dianggap terlarang oleh sekte-sekte besar. Dengan kekuatan itu, Lian Yue selamat dari “Upacara Penentuan Nasib” dan malah menarik perhatian banyak pihak: – Sekte Bintang Surya yang ingin menjadikannya murid – Klan Lian yang takut rahasianya terbongkar – Dewa-dewa yang ingin menyegel Xuan Nightblade untuk kedua kalinya – Dan para bangsawan yang menginginkan Lian Yue sebagai selir kontrak karena auranya yang berubah menjadi menggoda Di sisi lain, Xuan Nightblade mulai menguasai lebih banyak tubuh Lian Yue: dia bisa muncul ketika Yue ketakutan, marah, atau… terguncang secara emosional. Setiap kontak spiritual membuat keduanya semakin terikat—bahkan ketika Lian Yue ingin menjaga batas, tubuhnya bereaksi pada sentuhan roh itu. Ketika mereka akhirnya menemukan catatan kuno tentang cara mematahkan kutukan, Lian Yue menyadari sesuatu yang menakutkan: Semakin kuat dia, semakin kuat pula keinginan Xuan untuk menjadi manusia kembali—dan mengambil tubuhnya sepenuhnya. Di tengah cinta terlarang, bahaya yang mengintai, dan rahasia masa lalu yang perlahan terungkap… Lian Yue harus memilih: Membebaskan Xuan Nightblade dan mempertaruhkan tubuh serta jiwanya— atau menghancurkan.

Setelah Tia Lestari, teman masa kecil Andre Sonata, kembali duduk di kursi penumpang di sebelahnya, aku tidak ribut atau marah. Aku menurut dan duduk di kursi belakang, tepat di samping sahabat baiknya, Jimmy Tanusubrata. Saat mobil terguncang, lututku tanpa sengaja bersentuhan dengan pahanya yang kuat dan kencang. Aku sengaja tidak menarik kakiku, dan dia juga tetap diam. Di tengah perjalanan, kami melewati rest area. Tia merengek pada Andre agar menemaninya ke toilet. Begitu pintu mobil tertutup, Jimmy langsung meraih tengkukku dan menciumku dalam-dalam. Saat ciuman itu membuatku kehilangan akal sehat, satu pikiran melintas di benakku... Meragukan pria, memahami pria, menjadi pria... benar-benar sebuah kebenaran mutlak.
