Ballad of the Damned

A slow-burn tale of intrigue, revenge, romance, and deception, where loyalties are masked, alliances are fragile, and battles are fought with whispers and silk.

***

Hua Xiuying made a terrible mistake. Desperate to save Jin Ge, she pleaded with an enemy to heal her dying betrothed. But she never imagined that such a wish would awaken a monster instead.

Three years later, Xiuying is now living under a new identity. As Feiyou, an assassin of the Plum Blossom Pavilion, she delivers death to unfortunate targets at the request of their clients. But when an opportunity presents itself in the form of a prey she intended to hunt, she has to seize the chance.

Determined to uncover the mastermind behind the attack on the palace that took everything she cared about, Xiuying hatches a plan to track and hunt her enemies down. As she digs deeper, she discovers a conspiracy that began generations ago, one that will change everything. All the while her seemingly undying lover is back and determined to make her pay.
