For Song Chengyu, Mo Li was trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation.
She rewrote the past again and again, staking all her courage on a decade-long unrequited love. Returning to that evening in her second year of high school, she finally found the courage to confess, and the love she'd dreamed of came true. She thought that after enduring three lifetimes of obsession, she could finally grasp the happy life she deserved.
After accidentally finding an antique bronze lamp and releasing Qiyou, a fox demon who had cultivated for five hundred years, Mo Li learned the truth behind the cycle of reincarnation. Her childhood friend Zimo wasn't an ordinary person either: he was a gray wolf born from an ancient painting.
Just as she escaped the mire of her birth family, her mother fled an unhappy marriage, she made it into college, and she found happiness with the one she loved, believing that her suffering had finally ended, the antiques collected at home began to decay in droves. As the objects withered, the otherworldly realm of Fumeng Yun, born from the antiques, teetered on the brink of collapse.
By chance, Mo Li was appointed the twenty-first keeper of Fumeng Yun, Yaoshu.
On one side was the ordinary bustle of a university student's life: sweet campus romance, a mother who needed looking after, and a coffee shop. On the other was a shattered dreamworld, the fox demon Qiyou on the verge of losing his soul, and Shiling, a mirror spirit who had broken free from the abyss and fed on obsession.
Shiling coveted the intense regrets Mo Li had accumulated over three lifetimes of reincarnation, pressing her at every turn and waiting for a chance to devour her obsessions. With human love and the fate of another world lying before her, she couldn't tell her lover, Song Cheng, a thing. Lies and estrangement quietly took root.
The consequences of reincarnation came crashing down, and the lives of her lover, friends, family, and countless beings in the dreamworld all rested on her shoulders.
Would she sink into the old dream of longing for what she could never have, or shoulder the burden of being its keeper and protect everything in both the human world and the dreamworld?
