[Fantasy romance + reincarnation and fate + love and hate]
Two hundred years ago, during the war between immortals and demons, Chang Qi sacrificed himself to seal Demon Venerable Jing Zhao beneath the Xuan River, saving the Nine Provinces from destruction. Later, by good fortune, Chao Yu, a disciple of the great goddess Nuwa, recovered a sliver of Chang Qi's immortal essence and sent it into the Underworld to undergo reincarnation. By a twist of fate, Chang Qi and Chao Yu fell deeply in love while enduring their trials in the mortal world, but could never be together. When Chang Qi's primordial spirit returned, he met an old friend once more in the Penglai Illusion...
“Lift your head and let this general get a good look at you. What a handsome young man!”
“General, this is a battlefield! Could you pick a more appropriate time?”
“Oh, all right, all right. Beauty really does make a fool of you, doesn't it?”
“I hear this illusion can peer into people's hearts and conjure inner demons. Tell me, Venerable Immortal Chang Qi, is there someone occupying your heart?”
“Chang Qi, whether it's the mortal world or Penglai, they're both just trials for us. Why cling to so many attachments?”
“Chao Yu, do you dare swear before the great goddess Nuwa that you no longer have feelings for me?”
It wasn't that he and she were fated to miss each other. The two lifetimes in which they met and came to know each other had already been bought by the longing of that reincarnation purple lotus a hundred years ago...
