Lin Xia’an’s life was tragic and painful, and she never had the freedom to make her own choices. In her previous life, she was the daughter of the head of a sect devoted to the Way of Heaven. Her father died from the grievous wounds he suffered saving her. After that, her mother, brother, and sisters all hated her and drove her from home. Seeking revenge, she killed countless ghosts and monsters, until she finally died of exhaustion. To atone for her sins, she let her soul be scattered. But only after reaching the underworld and visiting the Terrace of Homecoming did she learn the truth: it had all been arranged by her family because her talent was so great that it made her siblings feel threatened. Even Heaven could no longer bear to watch, and gave her another chance at life, letting her live as she pleased this time. She wanted to try a different way of living, but an accident during reincarnation turned out to be part of the plan. In this life, she intended to cultivate the Way of Ruthlessness, but then she met him, a man old enough to be her father. At first, she only meant to use him to see if she could return to her former life. In the end, she lost her heart.
He was born in the Tang dynasty and devoted his entire life to restoring the Tang dynasty’s sacred artifact. Past fifty, he had never imagined that a girl would capture his heart. But he couldn’t say it. She was too young, and he couldn’t let her know about his shameful feelings. Yet after she left, he became lovesick. When he saw her again, she was injured saving him. In that moment, he lost control, and everything began to spiral beyond his grasp. He tried to put a stop to it, but some things, like love, were beyond his control. In the end, he followed his heart and stopped holding back.
What will become of a cunning, calculating fox and a cold-faced, softhearted rabbit? (Though the heroine seems to have lived two lives, she’s completely inexperienced when it comes to love.)
