   Summary

   For five hundred years, the ghost king Hua Cheng has searched for the man he loves - and has found nothing

   But when an unexpected tip tells him of a mysterious masked man in Yong'an, Hua Cheng finds that Xie Lian is indeed there - stabbed in the heart and entombed for twenty-six years, hovering between life and death. Even an immortal has his limits, and Hua Cheng dedicates himself to nursing his beloved back to health.

   But the return of Xie Lian into Hua Cheng's life isn't as joyous as he had hoped. Xie Lian begins to suspect that there's more to this mysterious, charming man than he lets on, and Hua Cheng fears that the truth about him will drive away the only person he's ever loved.
