Clouds Over the Palace, Flowers Bloom on the Road and I Return

The blood has yet to dry on the desolate mountain, and the shackles of Wufeng remain. Shangguan Qian, whose dagger was stained with blood and whose love and hatred had turned to ashes, is reborn on the eve of the Gong Clan's bride selection, carrying a heart full of regret and memories that cut to the bone. In her previous life, she was Wufeng's sharpest Mei-class assassin. She infiltrated the Gong Clan for revenge, but amid schemes and suspicion, she fell sincerely in love with Gong Shangjue. In the end, betrayed by everyone, she died repaying a debt of gratitude. Trust was never rewarded, her vengeance went unfulfilled, and even her love, mixed with deceit, vanished amid suspicion.

Reborn, she sheds her feigned softness, leaving only clarity and resolve in her eyes. This time, she will tear away Wufeng's hypocritical mask and kill Dianzhu, the enemy who slaughtered her family. This time, she will see through the Gong Clan's layers of conspiracy. Taking the Boundless Flame is no longer a mission, but a bargaining chip with which to seize control of her own fate. This time, facing Gong Shangjue's inscrutable gaze, she will set aside her wavering heart and rely on strategy alone. Yet she does not know that the threads of fate have already begun to entwine them.

When every scheme is exposed ahead of time and love and hatred clash once more, Shangguan Qian swears to rewrite the tragedy of her previous life, avenge her family's slaughter, and win herself a truly free world. But in this game of rebirth, will her tangled love and hatred with Gong Shangjue still follow the same path as before?
