Teasing With Your Jade Fingers

Shen Qingshuang is celebrated as the “Guanyin” of a prestigious family, yet she is also trapped like a beast within the house's inner chambers.

Mu Yunzhao is the “Rakshasa” of a famed military family, and a solitary wolf roaming the capital.

One despises the Rakshasa’s defiance of all norms while the other loathes the Guanyin’s arrogance and rigid propriety. Yet neither knows that, in her dreams, the Guanyin longs only to tear away silken robes, burn down discipline and doctrine, and fall into the abyss with her. Or that deep in her heart, the Rakshasa insists on laying snares, tempting sacred chants, binding her in a passion that ends only in death.
