"When death is not the end, but the beginning of a reckoning."
Ling Siyun, a noble Omega, suffered a brutal massacre that wiped out her entire clan. She is reborn into a new life within the body of a commoner girl, fueled by a blazing fire of vengeance. Her sole purpose in existence is to claim the head of Bai Qinglan, the mighty Alpha female general—the sworn enemy she believes slaughtered her family with her own hands.
Yet, as she infiltrates the General's inner circle as a trusted confidant, beneath the cold iron armor and the terrifying title of "War Demon," she discovers a hidden gentleness and a buried pain. The intoxicating scent of cedarwood pheromones begins to erode the walls of her heart, stone by stone.
Amidst the flames of war and the treacherous battles of wit in the Imperial Court, Ling Siyun is forced to choose between the "blood debt" that must be repaid and a "heart" that is beginning to betray her hatred. As distorted truths are slowly unveiled, the enemy she vowed to kill may turn out to be the true love she has yearned for all her life.
"I came to take your life... so why does my heart surrender at your feet the moment our eyes meet?"
