[Mutual salvation + revenge after falling to the dark side + strong yet tragic leads + two equally powerful leads + sweet romance and heartbreaking love. A complicated, darkening puppy-like boy vs. a resilient, delicate girl with a special constitution]
As the flames of the Su Yuan Sect fell, Lin Xiaran thought she would never see Nangong Chen again.
Back then, she had thought that if she could not save him, at least they could die together without regret.
When she awoke again, the pure-hearted, clingy boy in her memories had become a fiend who had murdered his brother to seize the throne, a man everyone wanted dead.
The major sects joined forces to hunt him down, only for him to slaughter them in turn. She infiltrated his ranks on a mission, but he saw through her at a glance and kept her imprisoned at his side.
“Since you want to save me,” he said with a soft laugh, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eye, “then stay by my side forever and bear this pain for me.”
Fate twisted and turned until the truth finally came to light.
The boy she had thought corrupted by evil had been hiding a deeper secret all along.
Many years later, a rare heavy snow fell over the Cangwu Secret Realm.
Nangong Chen suddenly remembered that summer night, when the stars above the Star-Moon Terrace had shone brilliantly.
The light he had found after breaking through the darkness was now forever beyond his reach.
