Summary
Xie Heng is the Sword Sect’s universally adored eldest senior sister—except in the eyes of Zhou Lingxue, her beautiful, sharp-tongued junior brother. When a botched scheme binds them with the Joyous Union Sect’s Lovebinding Knot, they must remain close, share intimate contact, or watch their spiritual power fail. Xie Heng sees a perfect chance to discipline the one man who refuses to obey her. Yet nightly experiments, jealous quarrels, and a journey for an immortal sword reveal that Zhou Lingxue’s hostility hides an obsession far older than their bond. Breaking the knot may be easy. Deciding what kind of bond they truly want is far more dangerous.
