In the modern workplace, Xia Ran is famous for being decisive, sharp-tongued, and a firm believer in getting even on the spot. Yet she is plagued by strange dreams: wandering through a gloomy underworld as a nine-tailed fox spirit, then becoming an orphan whose heart is broken before the Temple of the Matchmaker. Then she meets Huo Jingshen, the richest man in the imperial capital. From the first moment he sees her, his possessiveness is suffocating, as if they have been entangled across several lifetimes.
In her first lifetime, she was Mengli, a fox spirit who had cultivated for a thousand years. Seeking an opportunity, she ventured into the underworld and encountered Youhuang, its cold and ruthless emperor. Forbidden feelings grew between them as they spent day after day together, but she was met with schemes and heartbreak. As her soul scattered, all she heard from him was a sigh that might or might not have meant something.
In her second lifetime, she was Hongluan, an orphan with no home to call her own. The gentle and refined Emperor Yuncheng, who controlled the marriages of the world, was the only warmth in her life. But mortals and immortals were worlds apart, and getting close to him meant disaster. In the end, she willingly severed her ties of love to protect his reputation, and died young.
In this lifetime, she is Xia Ran, determined to live for herself alone. But Huo Jingshen’s arrival forcefully tears away every disguise she has. When memories of her past lives surge back, she finally understands that the coldness of the Underworld Emperor and the distance of the Celestial Emperor both conceal the unspeakable devotion and protectiveness of the same soul.
It turns out that across three lives and three worlds, through a love full of pain and longing, the one she loved, hated, missed, and resented was always the same man.
See how the modern fox woman, with her memories restored, joins forces with her husband from three lifetimes to sweep aside every obstacle, take sweet revenge, and write an extraordinary love story that spans the Three Realms and ends in a perfect union.
