All that came before is in the past. From now on, I drift through life alone.
Since the Three Realms were created, there has been a great war between gods and demons. To save his wife, the Demon Lord wrought devastation upon all living things. An ancient High God sealed him away to save the world, and the divine and demonic blood within them merged before falling into the mortal realm, where it became Hua Xi. She could either destroy all life or save the world. She meets and comes to know her senior fellow disciple, Gu Jingnian, and they gradually fall for each other as they spend their days together. Everyone believes she is a demon, but a phoenix can be reborn from its ashes. Scorned and cursed by the world, she has no idea what lies ahead. Ming Yuan spends years by young Hua Xi’s side, and later they become kindred spirits, friends who understand each other across the ends of the earth. One person can be sacrificed to save the world. The world is cruel, but the tide can turn. Hua Xi practices magic at Tianxi Sect, believing it could become her home, but it is a cage, not a home. By chance, she discovers that everything has been a lie. As she searches for the truth about her origins, she faces one assassination attempt after another. The person she loves dies because of her, and being powerless to stop it is the most agonizing thing of all. Watching the people she wants to protect die before her eyes drives her to despair. Ming Yuan risks his life to save her, while Gu Jingnian finally becomes the sect leader and protects the world. She, meanwhile, rides Ban Yue and wanders from place to place, making a home wherever she can...
Hard to meet, so hard to meet. Longing without fulfillment, yearning without seeing you. Nothing cuts deeper than longing. From now on, we may never meet again...
