"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."

A spirit hunter is exactly that, those who fight to protect humanity from the threat of rogue spirits. So how is it that Yun Tian, one of the best spirit hunters, found himself serving the very being he'd been trained to kill?

Assigned to guard the rumoured soulless spirit who the Empress took as a concubine, Yun Tian was forced to drop his swords and instead pick up silks and tea cups. Bending himself over backwards to satisfy his hard to please master.

Yun Tian would just have to endure it, he assured himself. But fate has never smiled upon those who need it, so why would he be any different?

Locked in the palace walls with the one being he was sworn to hunt, Yun Tian would find that their encounter was no luck, but a trick of fate. And the secrets he would uncover would be enough to shake the empire.

For love would always come at a price and Yun Tian's may be one he's unable to pay.
