In the golden heart of Chang’an, where 108 walled wards hide a thousand secrets, the scent of imperial incense cannot mask the metallic tang of fresh blood or the low, hungry growl of a predator wearing a Prince’s silk robes. Chang’an was a city of silk and shadows in the history of China. In the year 745, Chang’an in Tang Dynasty is at its zenith, but behind the crimson palace walls, a primal horror stirs. Li Mei, the daughter of a disgraced imperial physician, has spent her life hiding a secret: she can "smell" the truth. When a string of gruesome, beast-like murders terrifies the 108 wards, the Empress Dowager summons Mei to the palace to "cure" the Prince’s mysterious illness. Prince Zhao is the empire’s fiercest sword, but beneath his cold, aloof exterior, he is rotting with a curse the court calls "Qi deviation". Mei quickly discovers it is no sickness—it is a werewolf plague. Every full moon, the Prince transforms into a silver-clawed beast, and Mei is the only one whose herbal elixirs can suppress the monster. As they hunt the true architect of the curse, the line between healer and prey blurs. In a court where every smile hides a blade, Mei must decide: can she love the man who might devour her under the moon’s cold light? This Oriental Suspense blends Imperial Intrigue with Werewolf Horror, creating a journey of survival, betrayal, and forbidden passion.

Inside the red walls of the Forbidden City, the most dangerous predator isn't the Emperor's political rivals—it is the man who guards his bedroom door, a beast in silk robes waiting for the moon to bleed. The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a celebration of celestial harmony in China. Instead, the Forbidden City was bathed in the copper scent of blood. Three high-ranking officials were found shredded within a locked treasury, their bodies bearing wounds that no human blade could inflict. Lin Xiyao, a physician ignored by her peers, is summoned to analyze the remains. Using her Heavenly Forensic extraction technique, she discovers a single, silver-white hair—a clue that leads directly to the Emperor’s most trusted shadow, Lu Yan, the Commander of the Jinyiwei. Lu Yan is a man of cold steel and lethal silence, but beneath his embroidered uniform beats the heart of a feral beast. He is the victim of a hereditary lunar curse, a secret that would lead to his execution if ever revealed. When he realizes the young physician has found his secret, he doesn't kill her. Instead, he traps her in a deadly pact: she must find a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) cure for his transformation before the Blood Moon arrives, or they will both be devoured by the palace's shadows. As the investigation deepens, Xiyao uncovers a conspiracy involving forbidden alchemy and ancient folklore that threatens to topple the Ming Dynasty. In a world of incense and irony, Xiyao must navigate a path where the man she is falling for is the very monster she is hunting. Can a silver needle restrain the hunger of a wolf?
