Nine lifetimes of tragic love, one fleeting glance that lingers for a thousand years. Their bond is trapped in half a poem that was never finished.
The Heavenly Way cannot be defied, and the curse cannot be broken. Still, he insists on defying fate, and she insists on holding on.
Through countless trials, all they wish for is to turn their unfinished love poem into a perfect life together!
Warring States Period · Farewell in the Heavenly Palace: “The distance between gods and mortals is like that between a sword and its scabbard. One wants to protect, the other wants to break free, and in the end, all that remains is wind and smoke.”
Qin Dynasty · Star-Crossed Lovers in a Fallen City: “The empire is your life, and you are mine. The city fell, and life was lost, but I still want to follow you, even to the Yellow Springs.”
Third Life · A Blood Oath and a Curse: “The words written in blood on the coffin promised forever, but a gust from the Heavenly Way turned them into the lie, ‘True love is hard to find.’”
Tang Dynasty · A Chance Encounter Over a Steamed Bun: “That year, the snowstorm was so fierce it seemed ready to bury the world. The steamed bun you offered warmed me for three days, and stayed in my heart for a lifetime.”
Song Dynasty · Lost in the Misty Rain: “Poetry can capture mountains and rivers, but never your name. Red candles can light a bridal chamber, but never the hollow in my heart.”
Ming Dynasty · Together Beneath the Blade: “Your wound is on your body, mine is in my heart. The Embroidered Uniform Guard’s blades are swift, but our longing lasts longer than any blade.”
Eighth Life · A Fated Meeting in the Mirror: “The mirror reflects not a past life, but words left unsaid, hands never held, and a wait that has spanned eight lifetimes.”
Moon Palace · At Last, We Meet: “Eight lamps have burned through eight lifetimes, and half a poem has waited a thousand years. Now it’s time to write the remaining words into our story.”
Modern Day · Passing By: “In the wind as we passed each other lay the familiarity of eight lifetimes, like a book left unfinished and words left unsaid.”
