Yun Xiu, a peach blossom spirit, had cultivated for a thousand years and was on the verge of perfection, ready to join the ranks of the immortals on the day she ascended.
But the Goddess of Flowers ended her immortal path with a single declaration: she still had a debt of gratitude to repay in the mortal realm, and her earthly ties were not yet severed. She could not take her place among the immortals.
She had to transfer her soul into the body of Princess Wanning, who had died with a heart full of hatred, rewrite her tragic fate, and dispel her pent-up resentment. Only then could she repay her debt, fulfill her cultivation, and return to the heavens.
Cast down from the highest heavens in an instant, she opened her eyes on the eve of Wanning’s journey to the enemy state of Dai as a hostage.
Ahead lay the hopeless fate of imprisonment and humiliation in a foreign land; behind her was the will of heaven, leaving no way back.
With the soul of a peach blossom immortal in a mortal body, watch as she uses her keen wits to navigate the dangers of Dai, carving out a path to survival for the princess and overturning the fate that destroyed her in her previous life.
Court intrigue and clashing blades: she had no interest in love, yet somehow found herself entangled with Yuwen Zhan, the third prince of Dai, a man as cold as he was inscrutable.
Is it a game of convenience, or a love ordeal written in fate?
Thus begins a tangled romance between the immortal and mortal worlds.
