Beneath the lovesick tree, red threads bind the world. Across nine cycles of reincarnation, there is nothing but the sorrow of parting.
For a thousand years, he wandered through countless lives. Six hundred years ago, he was Ximen Chuixue, peerless in the sword arts, destined to meet Dongfang Huaizhu. Five hundred years ago, he became the sword-wielding hero Li Xiaoyao, the dark ninja Uchiha Itachi, and the poet-swordsman Li Bai, each time forming a bond with one of the three Tushan sisters. Four hundred years ago, he was the fiery boxer Kai and the star-blade swordsman Dongfang Yao. Three hundred years ago, he was the Leaf Village hero Senju Hashirama. A hundred years ago, he was the cold-blooded assassin Lan. He shared a lifetime with one beloved woman after another, yet every time, he was destined to part from them.
Endless reincarnation wore away his name and memories, until in the modern era, the young Chen Fan awakened. The memories of nine lives returned, and countless souls merged within him. At last, he remembered every one of his past lives.
Now, with Susu and eight other heroines before him, a thousand years of regret weigh on his shoulders. In this life, he vows to defy fate, reclaim his whole self, and fulfill the bonds left unfinished across nine lifetimes, never again to suffer the pain of parting.
