She is a pearl spirit who has cultivated for a thousand years, born with immortal bones and a beauty that could bring ruin to the world. She is only one step away from ascending to immortality.
To take that final step, she waits outside the Heavenly Dao Hall every day, changing her clothes, offering pearls, and playing the flute, trying every trick she can think of to make the lofty Lord of Heavenly Dao spare her a glance.
But the Lord of Heavenly Dao is as cold as a snowy mountain, his expression never changing whenever he looks at her.
Until a female immortal ambushes her and traps her in three thousand minor worlds.
System Xiao Qi comes online: “Host, please win over the Heavenly Dao's incarnations. For every world you clear, you'll receive a share of merit.”
She pauses, then smiles.
“So after all that, I still have to go after him?”
In the chaotic Republic of China era, she is the most dazzling songstress in Shanghai's Paramount, while he is a ruthless, cold-blooded young warlord.
In a forbidden sect, she is a demoness hunted by everyone, while he is the aloof, heartless leader of the righteous path.
Amid the schemes of the imperial palace, she is a bewitching consort who brings ruin to the kingdom, while he is a young emperor who rules with an iron fist.
Ten cycles of reincarnation, ten identities, ten games of love.
She thinks she can win him over with her beauty, gather enough merit, and then leave to ascend to immortality.
She doesn't know that in every world, the man she drives wild with desire, who breaks his vows for her and would die for her, is one and the same.
Nor does she know that in the clouds above the celestial palace, the Lord of Heavenly Dao, who has never known desire, has been watching her for a long, long time.
So long that the desire reflected in the Mirror of Three Lives has never belonged to her alone.
It's really good, you can get into it!
The writing is quite nice, but it's a little bit not to my liking. The male protagonist used to like Bai Yueguang, and there are also stand-in jokes that are stuck in my throat.
