Eight years ago, she was the overlooked eldest legitimate princess of the imperial palace, a princess sent far away by her father to marry an old marquis as a concubine, and a master regarded by the palace attendants as weak and incompetent.
On the journey to her marriage, he abducted her and kept her by his side for just a few years, awakening the ghost-realm arts she had cultivated in her previous life.
She could not make sense of his intentions, but for her own safety, she had no choice but to comply.
The bond from their previous life was impossible to dispel. As they spent time together, she came to feel that he was different.
Later, when faced with another choice, afraid of repeating the past, he chose to hide their previous life and insisted that Qi return to the Three Pure Realms.
She chose to return and avenge her mother, setting herself against him. But she made his life the condition for helping the Three Pure Realms rid the capital of the ghost-realm people lurking there.
Now she understands: the Three Pure Realms schemed to take away the one she loved. Someone must pay for all of this.
