Yuan Kexin dies a violent death beneath the wheels of a car on a rainy night. As her life ebbs away, she binds herself to the Fallen Blossom System. She stakes the heartbreak points from ten lifetimes of romantic tribulations in exchange for an immortal position as a soul-taker in the underworld. The rules are cruel: each life, she is born with a fate that guarantees her death; when she falls in love, her memories are erased; the more she suffers, the stronger she becomes.
She enters a blood-soaked cycle of reincarnation:
In her first life, she is a poison doctor who watches coldly as General Xiao Heng dies taking an arrow for her. In her second, she is a noblewoman who dies with her brains splattered across the stone steps for the sake of a lowborn coroner, and her name is struck from the clan records; on the night of her burial, twin magnolias bloom on her grave... In her ninth life, she becomes a widow, sharing a coffin with a sickly heir as candle wax tears fall around them. Then, in her tenth life as a bricklayer's wife, she watches her husband fall onto the stone pavement and dies coughing up blood. The day the memories of all ten lives return, the pure white space shatters.
The Fallen Blossom System takes the form of a woman and reveals a shocking secret. The Impermanence Seal burns her soul as it settles into her hand, while blood-soaked flowers from the other shore coil around her feet.
On the Road to the Yellow Springs, she encounters the composite soul of the man she loved. Blood-red chains snap apart at her touch.
The ultimate tragic beauty of ten lives | Reclusive poison doctor × common-born general, noblewoman × lowborn coroner, emperor's consort × fallen king...
The System's contract is a trap: pain amplified by 300% · emotions stripped away · backlash from heartbreak points
Shocking twist: Every male lead is the same soul · reincarnation to atone
Immortality as a soul-taker: The flowers from the other shore brand souls · the Mirror of Retribution oversees punishment · tears congeal into blood-red sand
The story is told very gently. I haven't seen an article with such a normal narrative in a long time.
