After her soul transmigrates, a modern woman finds herself in the turbulent Western Jin dynasty, where she becomes Princess Sichen of Lingshou.
With peerless martial arts, extraordinary senses, and mastery over the winds, she looks like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens, yet strikes like the demon king of death.
As war looms and the world falls into chaos, she meets Xi Yun, a frail and frequently ill heir to a noble family.
Together, they weather the Rebellion of Yang Jun, the destruction of their clans, the crown prince's machinations, and the downfall of the empress's faction, becoming embroiled in the endless strife of the Rebellion of the Eight Princes.
To save her, Xi Yun becomes tainted by demonic energy and gains mastery over water, along with a life-and-death connection to her. Though chronically weak and sickly, he draws on his demonic aura to protect her fiercely amid the blades and bloodshed of a chaotic age.
As the realm crumbles and princes slaughter one another, they break free of fate's shackles amid a grand web of power and intrigue, composing a love story that spans time and endures unto death in a world at war.
In troubled times, the fateful love of two-way redemption.
