In the final years of Yong'an, eunuch factions seized power, vassal kings carved up the realm, and the land descended into chaos.
Chu Yunlan, heir to the Prince of Jing'an, bears a secret: every time he dies, he returns to a random point three days earlier. Yet he is trapped in an inescapable fate.
The orphaned Xie Ningshuang he meets always dies in an accident on the fourth day after they meet.
A thousand cycles, a thousand losses.
In this life, he uses the memories from his cycles to defy heaven through cultivation and stir up political intrigue, rising from a good-for-nothing to trample the mighty beneath his feet.
“Xie Ningshuang, this time, I won't let you die.”
“As long as the cycles continue, I will never stop defying fate.”
