Su Nian, the Su family's real heiress who had been away for eighteen years, has barely returned to her wealthy family before facing contempt and mistreatment. Insecure and long-suffering, she scrapes by like a speck of dust.
By chance, she stumbles into a forbidden area of an ancient temple and meets Xie Ci, a cool, restrained Buddhist cultivator who has renounced worldly desires.
He was a cultivator untouched by worldly concerns, strict in his observance of the precepts and unmoved by all living beings. Yet for her, a woman covered in wounds, he breaks his principles and develops feelings he should not have.
She is insecure and timid, afraid to come close and retreating at every step. He is restrained and patient, hiding his feelings as he falls deeper with every step.
The Buddhist precepts and the feelings in his heart pull him in opposite directions, while their unequal status and the judgment of society place obstacle after obstacle in their path.
He had never loved anyone before, but once he did, he gave her everything and cherished her alone.
The Buddha saves all living beings. I will save only you.
