The Shen family, a silk giant in Shanghai, was massacred overnight. Their daughter Shen Qingyan was shot dead by her fiancé of ten years, the Beiyang Marshal Lu Zhenghan. When the fire burned her body, she used her soul as a sacrifice to set up a blood curse, accidentally awakening the Phoenix bloodline, and was given nine opportunities to be reborn, each time returning to the day before the tragedy.
In her first eight lives, she tried to escape, beg for mercy, assassinate, and inform, but she could never escape the indifference of Lu Zhenghan and the plot of her enemy Su Manli. She died in tragic ways such as sinking into the river, being disfigured, dying, and being blown up. Eight deaths completely crushed her love, leaving only a blood feud deep in her bones.
In the ninth life, Shen Qingyan lost all innocence and transformed into a vengeful evil ghost who returned from the fire. She worked step by step to stir up the turmoil in Shanghai's military, political and business circles, using Lu Zhenghan's remaining obsession and guilt to sow discord, kill people with a borrowed knife, and vowed to drag her enemies into hell one by one. However, as the conspiracy unfolded, she discovered that behind the destruction of the Shen family was the Japanese invasion of China. Lu Zhenghan's betrayal had a heavy price that she had never imagined.
After the truth came to light, Lu Zhenghan was shocked to realize that he had personally killed the person who loved him most in the world. He abandoned all dignity and power, pursued his wife like crazy to atone for his sins, and was willing to be her sword and shield. But Shen Qingyan's heart had already been reduced to ashes in the eight generations of fire. In the end, when the nation was in danger, the two put aside their personal grudges and fought side by side. Lu Zhenghan paid for the sins of the year with his life, while Shen Qingyan carried his last wish and completed the true Phoenix Nirvana in the flames of war.
