Feng Xiaobai, a descendant of the nine-tailed fox clan stripped of her divine status, refuses to remain an unknown nobody in her sect. She sneaks into the Mirror Within a Mirror to seek her fortune...
A Fire Phoenix thought to be extinct and ancient divine artifacts never before seen by the world appear one after another.
The secret realm is full of danger. At a critical moment, her exceptional senior brother emerges from seclusion to help her, and is extremely generous to boot.
Feng Xiaobai hugs an armful of gold and silver and beams with delight.
Her senior brother gazes at her radiant smile, gentle affection filling his eyes.
She takes on the occasional mission, sells magical artifacts for money, and has a top-tier genius Dao companion with outstanding cultivation and looks by her side, always fussing over her. Feng Xiaobai is so happy she can hardly believe her luck.
Who could have guessed that one day, with a baby in her belly, her seal would break and she would remember her long-dead husband and the child who never got to grow up...
Her senior brother is still blissfully basking in their happy life when his heavily pregnant wife suddenly runs away. Only then does he realize that his rival, who got there first, isn’t dead after all!
The senior brother is furious. The senior brother turns dark.
Gu Ce, a sacred ancient beast, son of the Qilin, and young lord of the Gu clan, once led his troops to defend the cultivation world and died in battle. He was buried in the Asura Divine Tomb, Guixu.
He thought he was forever separated from his wife by life and death. But through the chance presented by the ancient divine artifact Kunlun Mirror, he tore through another world, crossed the divide between life and death, and returned as a spirit.
Immortal and indestructible, his obsession turned demonic.
The price was an uncertain future and a drastically changed temperament.
Once a man like the blazing sun, he is now like three feet of ice beneath frozen earth. He worries that his wife won’t like him this way, until Feng Xiaobai clings to him and sobs uncontrollably.
The young lord of the Gu clan gives a faint smile, knowing he has won.
The senior brother grits his teeth in jealousy and can only give way for now. Little does he know that once he starts playing the pitiful one, he’ll never stop.
