Sypnosis: Bayan is an outcast amongst the Siyo, a people who have healing powers. Considered worthless because she doesn’t have the ability to heal others, Bayan is sent to the court of Dhan, the Great Sun Emperor, who is cursed with unrelenting bloodlust and slaughters his concubines mercilessly. It seems that Bayan’s fate is sealed the moment she reaches the emperor’s palace and Dhan is fated to suffer from madness forever... But together, Bayan and Dhan just might be able to change each other’s destiny.

Review: This manhua/manga is one of my favorites. I absolutely adore the main characters and their devotion to each other. They are perfect together and you can see the love the two share with each other. Dhan (the Emperor) does everything in his power to keep Bayan protected and oftentimes he cannot do so as his enemies manage to find ways to harm Bayan. Still, it does not deter Dhan away from Bayan.

This really is one of my favorite stories. The characters are beautiful and well-fleshed out. No matter what is thrown at them, they still stay together and this is a love I wish for more than anything I could have for myself. I am so jealous. xD

Seriously, this season does end on a cliffhanger and I am quite excited to see what Season 3 will bring. I did see that the smut tag will be added to the next season. This will make things interesting.
