Introduction to "Ten Lives of Emotions and Ten Lives of Tribulations: Burning Hearts Against Scales"
In ten reincarnations, Meng Qiqi served as a demon-slaying Taoist priest, a subjugated princess, and an avenger of fallen demons. In each of his reincarnations, he died from the betrayal of his loved ones. In this life, she became a horse fairy, and in the bronze mirror of the haunted house, she saw herself thousands of years ago - her Taoist robes were stained with blood, and she was piercing the nine-star nail into the heart of the ancient black dragon Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye, who broke out of the seal, grabbed her neck and sneered, but his fingertips were burned and ulcerated by the snake-shaped birthmark on her collarbone. Weird clues followed one after another: the bronze box talisman was consistent with the incantation in her dream, the corpses of her nine previous lives were displayed in the morgue of the funeral home, and the black dragon scales in the embalming fluid were engraved with the Sanskrit word "atonement". When the betrayal knife stabbed her back again, and when the illusion of Wangchuan revealed the truth that Xuan Ye cut off her scales to bear the tribulation for her, Meng Qiqi finally woke up: the tenth reincarnation was not a natural punishment, but a situation she had caused to atone for her sins. Xuan Ye secretly changed his life book and endured all the torture on her behalf.
"I'll protect you this time." She detonated the immortal bones and burned them with the enemy. Before she was gone, she saw Xuan Ye's right eye bleeding and his left eye dying - that was the price of reversing time and space.
Many years later, in front of the wordless monument, the blood-colored flower of the other side bloomed, and a piece of reverse scales in the flower's stamens undulated with the sound of the wind, like someone's unfinished sigh.
