Countless ages ago, he burned his mortal soul to protect her divine throne. His soul shattered, and he fell into nineteen cycles of reincarnation. After a hundred lifetimes of tribulation, she severed her divine essence to find him, fell into the mortal world, and shared in humanity's suffering.
Zhang Shaoqing was once an ancient Sword Venerable who could subdue mountains and rivers with a single sword. To resurrect his beloved, he unsealed the Demon Venerable, only to see his Dao heart crumble and his powers vanish, leaving him a frail mortal. Qing He was an ancient Divine Lord who commanded the stars across the heavens. Returning from her tribulations, she would rather make an enemy of Heaven and abandon her divine throne and authority than let harm come to him.
With the bloodthirsty Demon Venerable hunting them from the front and the gods closing in to kill them from behind, the two flee for their lives, shedding blood and tears at every turn. To ensure she survives, he burns away his mortal soul, his bones crumbling to ash, until his spirit is scattered beyond reincarnation. To bring him back, she shatters her divine core, burns her divine essence, and renounces her immortal status, using the divine nature she has carried for countless ages to defy Heaven and exchange it for one wisp of his remnant soul, reborn.
The stars fall and the divine palace collapses. An ancient deity becomes a mortal woman. After eighteen years of waiting through the rain, they meet for the first time on a stone bridge in Jiangnan. He has forgotten his past, and she has lost her divinity, yet at a single glance their souls recognize each other once more.
No Sword Venerable or Divine Lord, no gods, demons, or heavenly laws. With mortal hearts, they stay by each other's side, using their love to defy fate. In this life, they forsake the glory of the gods and the splendor of the three realms, seeking only to share simple clothes and the warmth of home.
He would die for her without regret; she would defy Heaven for him without hesitation.
An epic romance between a mortal and a god, a tribulation spanning countless ages in which each gives their life for the other, finally finds its happy ending amid Jiangnan's peach-blossom rain.
