She was a one-of-a-kind three-life flower growing beside the River of Forgetfulness in the Underworld, named Chaoyan. After taking human form, her lively nature got her into serious trouble. An enraged ghost guard ripped her out by the roots. She thought her spirit would dissipate, but instead she unexpectedly fell into an unfamiliar world, Lotus Tower, where she found Li Xiangyi, the former Sword God who had fallen from grace, been poisoned, and was on the verge of death.
At first, she only thought this human was stubborn and pitiful, like a beautiful porcelain doll nobody wanted. Perhaps she stayed by his side simply because she needed somewhere to live. He was a terrible cook and stubbornly insisted he was always right, but he also tucked her in at night and pushed his only bowl of hot porridge toward her.
At some point, her pity changed into something else. Seeing him suffer through a poison attack made her heart ache; seeing him force a smile left her inexplicably irritable.
