[Every choice comes at a price.]
Si Lingqian, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Left Chancellor, grew up in the Yunmiao Sect. Three years ago, no one knew why she was found on a mass grave, barely alive, and taken in by the Xiao family.
Three years later, Si Lingqian had become the ruler of Youmingdu, the master of Luofeng Pavilion. She lived freely and did as she pleased, but the imprisonment of ghosts to make soul pills drew her back into conflict with the Yunmiao Sect. And the memories she had already forgotten also became a crucial reason for the soul-binding alchemy.
The merfolk were cursed, and she was pushed into the River of Forgetfulness. Somewhere in the shadows, it seemed that a pair of hands was always pushing her forward, intent on restoring the old royal court of Yuyuan.
She had never wanted anything to do with Yuyuan, yet it turned out that everyone around her had been deliberately placed there to kill her.
She had planned to deal with the troubles in the mortal realm, then go to the ruins of Yuyuan's royal court and cause a scene. But in the end, she discovered that she herself had always been the one truly at fault.
In her previous life, she had been the shadow of Yuyuan's crown prince. The Holy Lord had drained every bit of value from her life, and in the end, she took revenge by slaughtering innocents and destroying Yuyuan, bringing the Three Realms into being.
After learning the full truth, she was willing to pay with her life for the evil she had committed. Together with the true heir to Yuyuan's throne, Ji Yue, she drank poison and died.
After the two of them died, Tiandao Xuanwei came to his senses. Perhaps all the tragedies had begun because he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities. He obtained the Memory-Trace Pearl, turned back time, and changed the past, giving everyone a chance to start over.
Paying for a life with her own was Si Lingqian's choice. Repaying Si Lingqian with his own life was Ji Yue's choice. Reversing time at the cost of his life was Xuanwei's choice.
Everyone paid a price for their choices.
