Eleven reincarnations, eleven separations of life and death.
Lin Zhiyao was trapped in a deadlock created by fate, watching his relatives and friends die one by one due to the predetermined tragedy - the loyal and brave general died on the battlefield, the kind-hearted doctor died of the plague, the gentle sister died of beauty, and the ambitious allies failed. Every time she started over, she tried her best to rewrite the trajectory, but she was always pulled back to the original point by invisible correction forces, leaving her with deeper despair.
When the eleventh reincarnation started, she lost her innocence and took the memories of her tenth life step by step. She formed an alliance with the ambitious seventh prince Mo Yuan, and used wisdom as an edge to pierce the fog cast by political opponents; she warned of disasters in advance, avoided deadly cold arrows for military general Lu Beichen, helped doctors develop life-saving prescriptions, and protected her sister Su Qingyin from the scumbag's schemes. They are each other's accomplices and comrades-in-arms against fate. In the chess game of power and the whirlpool of fate, they gradually develop a bond that goes beyond exploitation.
But the shackles of fate have never been loosened. The betrayer has changed his face, the tragedy has changed its form, and those she swore to protect to the death are still teetering on the edge of fate. It wasn't until Mo Yuan's words before his death, "Look for the original cause," that she embarked on the road to pursue the truth, traveling through the mundane world and nothingness, and arriving at the "Ruins of Destiny" where the rules were born.
Here, she meets the embodiment of fate and learns the truth about reincarnation: her obsession is the cause, and the plight of all living beings is the result. There are only two ways to break the shackles - either let go of her obsession and accept the destined tragedy; or sacrifice herself and completely cut off the cause and effect.
In the end, she sacrificed herself in exchange for the freedom of her relatives and friends from their fate.
There is no more Lin Zhiyao in the world...
