17 parts Ongoing Seven years in the mountains turned Alice Lu into a healer-yet when she returned home, her world lay in ruins. Her sister murdered, her brother framed and executed, her father drowned on the road to seek justice, her mother driven mad and burned alive. With nothing left but her medicine chest and a heart of ice, Alice swore vengeance. "If there is no judge in this world," she vowed, "then I shall become one."
Disguised as a wandering physician, she enters the capital, where noble families fall into chaos one after another. Behind the glittering walls of power, secrets rot like old wounds. Each life she saves, each body she heals, brings her closer to the truth-and to the man sent to uncover it.
Commander Mia Pei of the Palace Guard was ordered to hunt a killer. The trail leads to a quiet girl from the Benevolent Heart Clinic, whose hands can heal-or kill-with equal grace. But before he can prove her guilt, she strikes first.
In a city of masks and lies, their fates entwine in blood and fire. Between justice and obsession, between love and vengeance, one question burns brighter than the rest: when the healer becomes the executioner-who will save her soul?
