In her previous life, Yu Xi faithfully upheld her master’s teaching to “protect the world.” She never expected to be framed in return, her soul stolen and divine status shattered, before she was hastily written out of the story in a cloud of dust.
As she lay dying, Yu Xi asked her master, “The one I depended on abandoned me. The one I trusted betrayed me. The ones I protected despised me. What did I do wrong?” His only answer was, “Fate cannot be defied.”
Six lifetimes passed like a dream in another world. The day she returned to the divine realm, Yu Xi watched her refined, otherworldly master climb the steps to the divine palace, bowing at every step. He even stripped away his immortal bones with his own hands, all to beg her to call him “Master” one more time.
But love that comes too late is worth less than grass. In this life, Yu Xi will no longer place her hopes in anyone, nor will she stop for those who once hurt her.
Who would have thought that the long road to cultivating her heart would bring a cold-faced King of Hell who flirts but refuses to marry?
So he runs, she chases, and he has nowhere to hide. Yu Xi lifts the man’s chin and smiles, brows raised. “The Book of Life and Death bears witness: from this moment on, you’re mine.”
