She is Xuanshuang, the Immortal Realm's God of War, feared across the Three Realms, whose sword brings frost to fourteen provinces. He is Lu Mingyuan, a mortal scholar who has failed the imperial exams time and again and cannot even lift a weapon.
A heavenly tribulation strikes, and a despicable act of sabotage within the Immortal Realm sends her tumbling from the clouds into the mud, stripped of her powers and memories.
On a stormy night, he rescues the blood-soaked “foolish girl.” From then on, the exalted goddess of war is forced to experience the simple pleasures of mortal life: learning to use chopsticks, craving braised pork, and stopping to admire wildflowers by the roadside.
As the cold Immortal Venerable gradually develops a mortal heart, the Immortal Realm refuses to let a traitor go. Heavenly soldiers descend and demand she return to her place; the conspiracy comes to light, pointing to the mystery of the plot against her years ago.
To protect this scholar, who cannot even fly on a sword, she draws her blade and fights, bathing the Ninth Heaven in blood. “Mortals and immortals are worlds apart? Then I will shatter that heavenly rule!”
And the mortal man, who has no aptitude for cultivation, dares to stand before the divine with his own flesh and blood. “I have no path to immortality, but I have the courage to die for you.”
In this life, she seeks no immortality. All she wants is to live with him as an ordinary married couple in this bustling mortal world.
