Can you believe it? The story starts on the hardest difficulty setting.
Jiang Li carries the remnant soul of Yao He, has a Nightmare-Face Insect inside her that feeds on desire, and is saddled with a vicious curse: she never lives past the age of twenty in any lifetime.
She lives as a substitute on Mount Jingqiu and falls head over heels for her disciple, Xiao Xu. When his life hangs by a thread, she gives up her own heart to save him. But when he opens his eyes, he mistakes her for someone else, thinking only of another woman. He spends a full two hundred years searching for the wrong person!
Five spiritual treasures break through their seals and vanish without a trace, throwing the human world into chaos as Nightmare-Face Insects run rampant everywhere.
Jiang Li sets out to find the treasures. Her sealed memories gradually awaken, while the insect continues to gnaw at her mind. Assassins, misunderstandings, and schemes pile up one after another.
As if fate weren't already making trouble, romance keeps finding her even as she sinks deeper into the mire. Scions of the divine race, young lords of the demon clans, and old acquaintances all fall for her. Each is willing to stake his life for her, and one spectacular love-triangle showdown after another unfolds.
Xiao Xu has been searching desperately for his first love. Only belatedly does he realize that the person he's spent two hundred years searching for has been right in front of him all along!
On one side, desire surges out of control. On the other, her true self refuses to yield.
Watch this beloved heroine, burdened by shackles, unravel the mystery of her origins, tear apart the divine race's hypocrisy, and overturn the entrenched hierarchy of gods, humans, and demons!
