Gu Qichi, the orphaned daughter of the Gu family, was hopelessly in love with Mu Changfeng, the Gu family’s adopted son. On her eighteenth birthday, she confessed and was cruelly rejected, so she left the country with a broken heart. Six years later, she had become a top powerhouse. Less than three months after returning home, she died in an explosion during a late-night trip out to sea.
In an instant, her soul transmigrated into Su Yang, the infamous wicked wife of the aloof Buddhist devotee Shi Jiqing. Five years earlier, the original Su Yang had schemed to ensnare Shi Jiqing, and the two had a son together. She had been domineering and obsessive, committing one misdeed after another until she brought about her own downfall. Now Gu Qichi had to deal with the whole mess she left behind.
Gu Qichi promptly signed the divorce papers and walked away with nothing, shocking everyone. At her own funeral, she unexpectedly saw Mu Changfeng, the man who had once kept her at arm’s length, bow down and kiss her corpse. When others questioned him, the dark, obsessive Mu Changfeng took every blow and insult without fighting back or saying a word, making her believe he was the one who had killed her.
When the truth came out, she learned of the love he had kept hidden for years. Mu Changfeng saw through her soul and tested her at every turn, even resorting to forceful possession as he pleaded, his eyes red at the corners: “Qiqi, come home with me.”
Gu Qichi simply refused. “Master Mu, we missed our chance long ago. There’s no going back.”
After passing through life and death, she had already found her own salvation in the time she spent with Shi Jiqing.
