Mo Yuan, the Immortal Venerable of the Nine Abysses, has lived for ten thousand years. He rose from a lowly cultivator to a being revered across the Three Realms, wielding a sword that can shatter stars and magic that can command the cosmos. Yet no one knows that every step this seemingly heartless Immortal Venerable has taken in his cultivation was for one figure long vanished into the river of time: Ling Xi, the mortal girl he met in his youth.
That year, peach blossoms blazed in full bloom. She died protecting him, her soul shattered. Mo Yuan wagered his immortal path and defied Heaven, using ten thousand years of cultivation to nurture the last remaining wisp of her soul. He searched three thousand realms for a way to gather her spirit, contending with the Heavenly Dao and defying the passage of time.
He had witnessed every facet of mortal life and weathered wars between immortals and demons. Though countless beauties surrounded him, his heart never stirred. Others mocked him as a fool for exhausting himself over someone long dead, but he would only say, “I cultivated for ten thousand years and guarded this eternal solitude for one reason: to hear her call me ‘A Yuan’ once more.”
When the last wisp of her soul finally gathered, she became an innocent, unknowing spirit, with no memory of her past. Mo Yuan cast aside the radiance of his title as Immortal Venerable and accompanied her as she walked the mortal world anew, watching the peach blossoms bloom again and waiting for a reunion ten thousand years in the making. But this time, the backlash of the Heavenly Dao and the covetousness of old enemies close in one after another. Can he protect her, now that he has found her again, and bring this love that has crossed the boundary between life and death to a happy ending?
