Prologue: The Mirror of Reincarnation Shatters
In the mist-shrouded Celestial Palace of Taixu, cracks spread across the gilded mirror. A woman in white brushed her fingertips over the reflection of a bloody battlefield, her tears falling like pearls. "High God, why must we endure three lifetimes of tribulations in love?"
Behind a green jade table, the white-haired immortal lowered his eyes. "The laws of the Nine Heavens forbid love between gods and demons; they will inevitably be punished by the heavens. Only by reincarnating through three lifetimes can the demonic fox blood in your veins be washed away."
The scene in the mirror shifted abruptly. Beneath the neon lights of a modern city, a man in a trench coat shielded a young woman behind him, a burst of blood blooming across his chest and staining the green jade pendant at her neck. The final scene froze amid the lightning tribulation in the cultivation world, where the man and woman stood shoulder to shoulder as he took a devastating bolt of violet lightning meant for her.
"In the first life, he was a general guarding the frontier, and you were the Chancellor's daughter. In the second, he was a reclusive heir to a mystical sect, and you were an ordinary medical student. In the third..." Before the immortal could finish, the Mirror of Reincarnation suddenly erupted in blinding golden light. The red threads of fate connecting the three figures in the mirror twisted into a knot, then turned into streaks of light and fell into the mortal world.
