Xie Wanqiao, a research scientist, transmigrates into Return Journey as the junior sister and is ordered to follow the plot by making the male lead fall in love with her.
Amid spring rain and drifting mists, a young man stands in snow-white robes, holding an oil-paper umbrella. He is like a translucent piece of white jade, radiating a gentle, reserved air. His eyes and brows are tender, like a pool softened by spring water, with a handful of glittering stardust scattered across it.
As she spends time with the male lead, Wen Buyan, she finds herself increasingly struck by a strange sense of familiarity.
Until, one day…
Heaven and earth wail, and blood fills the world. Xie Wanqiao presses a kiss to Wen Buyan’s lips, her gaze tender and full of longing. “Master, I don’t want to wait another five hundred years. So this time, I’ll be the one to leave you.”
Watching Xie Wanqiao fall from the sky, Wen Buyan stumbles toward her. The sight tears at his insides, his fingertips trembling violently with pain until he is nearly driven out of his mind.
“I see all beings as grass and trees, but you alone are the green mountain.”
The leads are fellow disciples in this life, but were master and disciple in their previous life. A past-life-and-present-life romance.
The female lead struggles to feel emotions, and the male lead gradually teaches her, a story of mutual healing.
The female lead slowly transforms from world-weary and cold into a cheerful, lively little sun.
[Melancholy, world-weary, aloof girl × upright, refined, deeply gentle man]
