Corpse-Bloom Flower: Reborn Three Times to Become a Divine Venerable

Walingyan, the fourth-generation successor of Nüwa, carries the sole surviving bloodline of the ancient gods. Yet she insists on defying the heavenly decree that “a divine sovereign must not fall in love.” At her three-thousandth birthday celebration, she forces her mentor, the Immortal Venerable of Mountains and Seas, to marry her. The War God and everyone else are left dumbfounded, and a sudden disaster strikes the heavens. When the newly awakened Primordial Heavenly Venerable casts her down to the mortal realm to endure three lifetimes of tribulation, her trials begin.

In her first life, she reunites with her father, now an emperor in the mortal realm, and gets caught up in a deadly corruption case. Each time she is in danger, she is rescued by the Demon Venerable Hua Tansheng, who has possessed Shen Ci. She gradually falls for him, but Hua Tansheng sees him only as a younger sister. In the end, they both die.

In her second life, Walingyan and Hua Tansheng have lost their memories, and both return to the mortal realm. Walingyan falls in love with He Yin, the head of Heming Lodge, whose real name is Ning Liyin. But Ning Liyin bears a grave responsibility for the Three Realms. He is also bound by both the Twin-Birth Curse and the Heart-Locking Talisman, which prevent him from loving his beloved. All he can do is secretly protect Walingyan and ensure her life is safe and peaceful. Having lost his memories, Hua Tansheng is indebted to the Immortal Venerable in this life and becomes his most devoted follower. He is constantly plotting to kill Walingyan for injuring the Immortal Venerable. Shen Ci, Hua Tansheng’s mortal descendant, falls in love with Walingyan. After Walingyan and He Yin spend a drunken night together in Pingli Town, she becomes pregnant, then tragically loses the child. The force of her grief breaks through the seal on her divine consciousness, and she enters her third life.

In her third life, Hua Tansheng regains his memories, Walingyan’s divine consciousness is restored, and the tangled fates of the three of them are bound together by an evil force. Why does Hua Tansheng ultimately burn up his demonic form to destroy the heavens and annihilate the gods? Where does he get such power, and what is his purpose? And how will Walingyan, the only one left alive, face the Three Realms and make a life for herself?
