[Empress × free-spirited young man × young Taoist priest + memories of a bygone love + deeply tragic romance] BE! A fated ancient-style romance!
“Look at An Cinian. You are not my tribulation, but my destiny.”
A young immortal saved an empress in distress. His master said she was his tribulation, but he believed she was his destiny. In the end, he traded half a page of history for her eternal reign, remaining alone in the mortal world.
“An immortal youth, his sword sweeping the dust away, meeting you for the first time on Wulian Mountain.”
“A battle-hardened empress, guarding her realm alone, longing for An in vain within the Forbidden City.”
