[Tragic Ancient-Era Romance | Past and Present Lives | Emperor × Pastry Seller | God of War × Goddess | A Prophecy Fulfilled]
In an alley in Jiangnan, she is A Nuo, who sells osmanthus cakes. She takes in an emperor in distress, earning his lifelong devotion, but also a prophecy that proves all too true: “Emperors have never lived long.”
After he is gone, she rules from behind the curtain, guarding the realm and the palace filled with the fragrance of osmanthus. She never remarries.
She doesn't know that this is a trial of love for her and him, a passage through the mortal world.
Above the Ninth Heaven, she is the goddess chosen by fate, and he is the God of War of the Three Realms. They are a perfect match, destined to drink Meng Po's soup and descend into the mortal world to undergo their trials.
When they meet again amid a strange case in the human realm, memories of their past life return. Only then does she understand that through three cycles of reincarnation, he has never left her.
