On the twenty-first day of the fifth month, the Demon Venerable Ye Li was born. The Pillar of Heaven collapsed, and the Three Realms wept. Her birthday was the universe's day of mourning.
In the Ninth Heaven, the Heavenly Emperor Xuan Jin carved the name of his sworn enemy into the Three Lives Stone with his own hand. He offered her the mountains and rivers as a betrothal gift, and made reincarnation his game.
Through twenty lifetimes of tribulation, amid the mortal world and the path to immortality, they were master and disciple, beloved companions, and sworn enemies. Every meeting made their hearts race; every ending was drenched in blood. She wielded her sword to sever the ties of love, while he willingly walked into a deadly trap.
Until, in the final lifetime, her younger sister Su Tang, who hunted demons in the mortal realm, accidentally opened the sealed Book of Reincarnation...
Only then did she realize that those twenty unforgettable ordeals were not cruel twists of fate, but a heart-devouring sacrifice he had meticulously devised. He had died on her birthday again and again, not as fate's cruel joke, but as his desperate gamble to turn the universe upside down, all to secretly change her destined death into a sliver of hope.
Now that the hatred of ages has come to nothing and the bloodstained truth has surfaced, should they rekindle the ill-fated bond that has burned through three lifetimes, or bring everything to an end in the final battle to the death?
