At Blackraven Castle, Lord Gabriel is suffering from a deadly plague. To prevent the contagion from spreading to his people, he prepares to sacrifice himself and leave the castle. At this critical moment, Seraphina—who was brought to the castle as a captive under the alias Selena—intervenes to stop him. She instantly recognizes that the plague is not incurable and reveals her heritage as a descendant of imperial physicians from a great Eastern nation, possessing the legendary ancestral skill of the Ghost Hands and Divine Needles. Although Gabriel is deeply skeptical of such unheard-of Eastern medicine, he is eventually persuaded and compelled by his soldiers to submit. Under immense pressure, Seraphina prepares to perform the life-saving acupuncture treatment.
