    Synopsis: [Arrogant and unreliable genius x Cold and stubborn king of lame jokes] (Rebirth + Master-Disciple + Unwavering Love + Heavenly Tribulation) When Jiang Ling confessed her crimes and was released, the heavy punishments were so severe they wanted to obliterate her on the spot: her wrists were broken, her wings clipped, her bones ripped out, and her soul destroyed. All this was to extinguish any possibility of her resurrection. After all, she almost destroyed the entire Heavenly Realm. Resurrection? Jiang Ling scoffed at the idea. She couldn't live a single day; whoever wanted this damned life could live it. However, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the Heavenly Realm when she first entered, and she was immediately dumbfounded. What did this mean? Did she have to go through this damned immortal path all over again?! She had been too hasty! If only she hadn't died! This majestic and monstrous phoenix had become a weakling? Wasn't that a huge loss for her?! Jiang Ling regretted her actions, but it was too late; she could only accept her fate. After much agonizing reflection, she deeply examined why her past life had been so tragic—it was all because of Bai Ji's face. She loved nothing but handsome men, ultimately leading to her own demise at the hands of this peerless deity. This time, she was wiser; she wouldn't repeat the same mistakes. Bai Ji naturally became her greatest enemy in this life. However, in her battle of wits with him, Jiang Ling vaguely sensed that something was amiss. The deity's perpetually indifferent eyes, his unyielding tongue, his excessively affected white robes—those things she thought would never change—had changed.

In her past life, she was the kind-hearted Lingting, her sincerity misplaced, deceived by someone impersonating him. After a three-day wedding ceremony, all she received was his cold "madwoman" upon his return. She left filled with resentment, and he was heartbroken with regret. In this life, he relinquishes his divine position, lowers himself to mortal form, and stays by her side, solely to protect her for a lifetime, so she won't remember the pain of the past. But fate is inescapable; old dreams gradually awaken, and the grudges of the past, the protection of this life, and the obsession of madness follow one after another.
