An epic tale of profound love and redemption, spanning the mortal and immortal realms and weaving through time and space.
In the highest realm of immortals, Shen Qing, a powerful and aloof immortal, watches as her beloved, the immortal lord Jun Wuwang, loses his soul to a boundless darkness. His soul shatters and scatters, forcing him to endure ten cycles of reincarnation. In every life, he is beset by misfortune and consumed by malice, doomed to suffer without release. To win back her beloved, Shen Qing resolutely gives up the glory of the immortal path. With the aid of the immortal realm’s treasure, the Wheel of Reincarnation, she seals away most of her memories and power and plunges into the endless cycle of rebirth. She vows to find him in each lifetime, wielding love as a blade and her heart as a lamp to dispel the darkness in his soul and guide him back to the immortal path.
The Wheel of Reincarnation can point the way, but it cannot spare them their trials. In each life, she appears by his side, their identities uncertain and their fates intertwined:
In the first life, amid the turmoil of the Qin dynasty, she is a silent guardian striving to turn the tide. She stands by Prince Fusu, a kind and gentle man framed by treacherous courtiers. In the final moments before he dies in bitterness, she offers him his first warmth and hope, struggling to kindle the first glimmer of light in his darkened soul.
In the second life, during the splendor of the Tang dynasty, she is a glimmer of hope amid the cutthroat palace intrigues. She stays by the side of Li Chengqian, a clever crown prince growing ever more paranoid, and witnesses both his pride and his downfall. When he is abandoned by everyone and dies in despair, her steadfast companionship makes that tiny light grow stronger.
In the third life, amid the long saga of the Han dynasty, she becomes a dazzling presence fighting at his side. As Wei Wuyou, his childhood sweetheart and crown princess, she joins the kindhearted Liu Ju, a crown prince caught in the heart of a storm, in resisting the calamity of the witchcraft plots. Through false accusations, blazing fires, and deadly court intrigue, their love runs deep and her protection never wavers.
