Nirvana's Fate: Dreams of Bianjing

Lin Weiwei, the dazzling center of a modern girl group, is an outstanding dancer. But after catching her rich boyfriend cheating, she is pushed down a staircase during their argument and dies young.

A thousand years pass in a dream. When she opens her eyes again, she has become Wanwan, a dancer in the Jiaofang Bureau during the Zhenghe era of the Northern Song Dynasty.

She wakes to a life-or-death predicament: Prince Duan, Zhao Zongyou, has come in person to the Jiaofang Bureau and called for her. Faced with the head courtesan's hostility and a room full of gaudy dance costumes, Wanwan smiles serenely. She refashions her skirt with her own hands, paints plum blossoms in ink, and reworks Ambush from Ten Sides single-handedly. With a breathtaking dance that fuses modern technique, she makes Prince Duan lose his composure in public, while Zhou Huai'an, the commander of the Imperial Guards secretly watching her, adds her to his list of dangerous people.

One wants her. The other wants her secrets.

Behind a rockery in the moonlight, Zhou Huai'an's blade presses against her waist, yet his breath catches by her ear. In the deep night, as candlelight flickers, Prince Duan's fingers trace her collarbone, his eyes dark with the knowledge that he sees through everything.

Is she the prey, or the hunter? As Xiao Ruolan's jealousy turns into a deadly scheme, as Zhou Huai'an exposes his identity to save her, and as Prince Duan closes in step by step in his fury, Wanwan stands between the two men, smiling calmly.

After all, she has already died once. In this life, she wants only one thing:

To hold her fate firmly in her own hands.
