Ling Xi, the Frost Fairy of Jiuzhong Tianque, has been burdened with the "soul-devouring" curse since birth. Everything she touches will wither. Only the "Ember Lotus" that lives on the other side of the River of Forgetfulness can alleviate her pain. She had been guarding the Forgotten River for three thousand years, just waiting for the legendary lotus that could break the curse to bloom. However, one snowy night, she bumped into the demon war god Yuan Che who had fallen from the Zhuxian Terrace and was covered in blood.
He is a unique prodigy from the demon clan, but he was betrayed by his own clan for stealing ancient artifacts. His cultivation was completely ruined, and he only had half a life left. Lingxi wanted to let him die on his own, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that what was surging in those eyes was not hatred, but loneliness that was exactly the same as his own.
