She is Yin Ruiji, a naive and sweet chrysanthemum spirit, who falls into the flourishing Chang’an of the High Tang after a clerical error in a demotion order.
He is Zong Nan, a rigid, stern civil official of the underworld, punished by mistake with “three lifetimes as her husband.” He sees her as a nuisance who disrupts the rules.
The Kaiyuan era is prosperous and resplendent, yet undercurrents churn beneath the surface.
She stirs up trouble with her gift for hearing the voices of plants,
while he can barely move under the iron laws of the underworld.
From chaos in Chang’an’s winding alleys, to the bitter intrigues of Luoyang’s aristocratic estates, to the blood-soaked cries of Suiyang amid the An Lushan Rebellion...
Three lifetimes pass, and their identities change.
His rigid rules fracture, piece by piece, for her,
while her pure vitality quietly melts his heart.
Is this the fate of immortals and demons destined to follow separate paths? Can a ghost official and a demon spirit ever be together?
When the flames of war consume all that splendor, they offer their souls as a sacrifice,
letting blood stain the city walls, asking only to stand side by side in the next life.
They defy the courts of Fengdu and refuse the immortals and gods.
They wish only to enter the cycle of reincarnation together, becoming twin white chrysanthemums outside Suiyang,
their roots entwined as they quietly await the bloom.
Flowers bloom and fade in their season, but the bond of this life will endure until they meet again.
A soul-searing love across three lifetimes, spanning the realms of immortals, demons, and ghosts amid the splendor of the High Tang and a bloodstained lament.
