Agarwood Like Chips arc synopsis. Contains major author-created changes.
When I was five, I grabbed the sleeve of Ying Yuan, the coldest emperor in the Heavenly Realm, and called him “Husband.”
He raised me as he waited for me to grow up, making me the most important piece in his game.
It wasn't until the Heavenly Dao forced us to kill each other that I learned the truth:
He had wagered his life, all along, just to give me a chance to survive.
“Subverting the usual tropes · Growing-up romance · Interwoven angst and sweetness”
✨ I am the divine artifact Time Reversal Wheel, given human form, and the final “gift” left to him by his sworn enemy's father.
He called me Mian Mian, taught me to read and write, and protected me for a thousand years.
Later, I reversed time for him and shattered my true form.
For me, he burned through his Asura bloodline and endured nine lifetimes of reincarnation.
The Heavenly Dao says we're destined to kill each other? Then we'll join forces and slay the heavens.
✨ The “destined partner” who awakened was my sister
The Heavenly Dao branded Yan Dan with the mark “must love Ying Yuan.”
When she awakened in her eighth life, she tore off the mark and ran to Yu Mo, the nine-finned merman who had guarded her for seven lifetimes. “This time, I choose him.”
✨ The four of us “madmen” forged a fourth path
Ying Yuan severed karma, I locked time, Yan Dan offered her heart to guard the world forever, and Yu Mo burned his soul to renew life.
The price: I would remain eighteen forever but lose a hundred years of my life; he would be frail and die young after nine reincarnations; she would be turned to stone in the Jade Lake for a hundred years; and he would lose all his cultivation.
But we all survived. Being alive meant we had beaten the Heavenly Dao.
Three hundred years later
I command the flow of time across the Six Realms, while he teaches students across the land. At our long-delayed wedding, Yan Dan is reborn in two bodies and raises her cup with a smile.
The once supreme Heavenly Dao has become a quiet stone lotus in the Jade Lake.
In the final chapter of A History of the Age of Freedom, the historian Ming writes:
“The best ending is for heroes to return to ordinary life and walk hand in hand through the years ahead.”
