At the very bottom of the Ten Realms lies the Dustrealm. Gu Ruchu was born breathtakingly beautiful, so her parents sealed her true appearance and entrusted her to a sect of scavengers.
She cultivates and breaks through, crossing nine realms in search of her missing parents. Along the way, she meets five men: one silently protects her, one schemes with a tender smile, one pursues her passionately, one offers himself in a sacrifice dictated by fate, and one accompanies her with all his heart. She thinks of them only as passing travelers.
Until, in the Guixu Realm, she meets Yin Wuxie, the most powerful being beyond the Ten Realms, who follows her around like a fool.
“Why are you following me?”
“You make time pass faster.”
From irritation to affection, from standing side by side to facing life and death. He defies the Heavenly Dao for her, and with a smile, says before he falls: “I'll come back.”
A hundred years of waiting, and still no return.
When locust blossoms blanket the Unknown Land, she finally hears the words she has waited for:
“I'm back.”
