    Summary

    The world is scarred by a corrupted king's hunger for power, Mu Qing travels to the hidden commune of the Guixin with his eyes bound by a strip of red silk. Once a sharp-tongued palace servant, he now carries a deadly curse: to meet anyone's gaze means to slowly drain their life away. His arrival stirs old wounds and buried resentments, especially with the hot-tempered former bodyguard.

    Caught between political threats, the weight of the past, and their complicated devotion to Xie Lian, Mu Qing and Feng Xin are drawn into a volatile dance of hatred and desperate longing. Every touch, every argument, and every moment of fragile intimacy is haunted by the constant fear that one slip of silk could destroy everything they held dear.
     
    ...

    Feng Xin's hands slammed against the sides of Mu Qing's face, fingers digging hard into his cheeks and jaw.

    "Look at me," Feng Xin growled, voice cracking with heartbreak and rage. "Look at me, damn it!"

    Look at me.
