The ancient auspicious beast Bai Ze sacrificed its divine soul to protect all living beings. Eight thousand years later, it was reborn as Shen Tan'er, an illegitimate daughter of the Shen family, and married off in her elder sister’s place to Xiao Yan, an emperor notorious for his cruelty and coldness. For three years of marriage, she slowly warmed the emperor’s heart with her gentleness and kindness, only for him to personally push her from the sacrificial altar during the grand ceremony. “You’re only an illegitimate daughter brought here as a replacement. What makes you think you deserve to be empress?” As her soul shattered, Bai Ze’s memories returned. Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, an eight-year-old beggar clutched his chest and fell to the ground. He had been searching for her for eight thousand years, arriving too late in every life. In this life, she was already married, and he didn’t even have time to grow up.
