Swaying Red

[Brilliant Strategist and Reborn Goddess] Be [Seemingly Wayward, Truly Cunning Heir]

In her previous life, Mu Xin suffered a bitter betrayal, but was fortunate enough to be reborn. With revenge on her mind, she meets the wayward heir He Shiwei. He approaches her several times seeking an alliance, and Mu Xin agrees, intending to use him.

She never expected him to turn around and sell her out!

She has always repaid every slight, so she immediately sets a trap and turns the tables, making him taste the pain of betrayal too.

Along the way, she uncovers a mountain of gold and builds her first business. She establishes the Yiren Pavilion, turning it into a blade for her revenge.

Once Mu Xin has settled every score in the mortal world, she follows her father west to the deserts of Hexi. Unexpectedly, amid the endless yellow sands, she crosses paths with He Shiwei again. Old grudges and new feelings become entangled once more. But this time, the family he fights with all his might to protect is still torn away from her…

These deserts bury the long-sealed past of her life as a goddess, and all her lost memories of reincarnation return. Knowing her own fate, she remains trapped by her attachments to love and hate, unable for a long time to reconcile with her past.

When her mortal ties are finally settled, she is unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation and be born anew, yet she refuses to borrow a mortal body and live through another life of joy and sorrow. In the end, she lets go of every bond of love and hatred, sheds her human form, and becomes an ever-burning candle before a Buddhist shrine, its red flame swaying year after year as she watches the world's meetings and partings with cool detachment.

As she becomes a candle, he stands alone before the shrine, gazes at that flickering red flame, and murmurs softly:

“Mu Xin, we've met again.”
