To embark on the path of cultivation is to live alongside the River of Oblivion.
With every small advance in cultivation, a little more of the past fades away.
While others dream of eternal life, Shen Yan suffers each day from the torment of losing his memories.
The ink-patterned brand he acquired after falling into a mountain ravine is both an opportunity to defy the heavens through cultivation and a curse that keeps stealing his memories.
That is, until he meets Su Wan of Stillmoon Valley, the only person in the world capable of preserving memories and resisting the power of the River of Oblivion.
One bears the source of the River of Oblivion; the other commands the divine souls of ten thousand memories.
Together, they defy the Dao. Along a brutal path that strips away the seven emotions and erases the past, they seek a road to eternal life that will let them stay true to their original intentions and never forget what came before.
