Li Luo, the reincarnation of a pear blossom spirit, fell in love with Crown Prince Nangong Ze after he carefully plotted to win her heart. She was later bestowed upon him as a secondary consort. Once Nangong Ze became emperor, he grew fickle and took new favorites. Li Luo fell out of favor, and the empress and favored consorts repeatedly plotted against her and had her punished, while Nangong Ze turned a blind eye. Heartbroken, Li Luo became depressed and began having frequent dreams. In them, she seemed to live through an entire lifetime: she and Nangong Ze fell in love, entered the palace, enjoyed his favor, and then lost it. At last she was banished to the Cold Palace, where the palace consorts' schemes led to her brutal death. She came to hate Nangong Ze and attempted to assassinate him on her birthday, but the attempt failed, and she was thrown into the Cold Palace. Dreams and reality intertwined, leaving her helpless and desperate. Her childhood friend Meng Qingyang secretly visited her whenever he managed to bribe his way through, becoming her sole source of warmth and comfort. But during one visit, Nangong Ze saw them and threatened to execute them both, as well as punish nine generations of the Jiang and Meng families. In the end, Li Luo took all the blame upon herself and killed herself with a sword. The Jiang and Meng families were all exiled to Ningguta. Meng Qingyang sought out Abbess Huiyuan, an incarnation of the Goddess Who Grants Children, and asked her to defy fate and change Li Luo's destiny. Later, Li Luo was reborn. Having endured the trials of love across two lifetimes, she resolved to cherish Meng Qingyang and live happily with him.
