Ten years after being adopted by Lucian Lu, Leah Jiang, at eighteen, kissed him, causing his furious departure to become a monk. Heartbroken, she dedicated herself to drug enforcement and sacrificed her life at twenty-five. The King of the Underworld granted her five days to settle her earthly ties. Her soul returned home, only to find that Lucian had already returned to secular life and was engaged, silently allowing his fiancée to destroy Leah’s belongings and insult her parents. Over those five days, she endured his icy, bone-deep cruelty until her heart died, carving her final words onto a tombstone. Only upon reading her letter did Lucian realize she had long since died in the line of duty—what had returned was but a fading soul. Instantly shattered, he took his own life to pursue her into the underworld. Yet, to sever all ties, she forced herself to drink ninety-nine bowls of the Potion of Oblivion, forgetting everything before her soul scattered into nothingness.
