She knew they would remain entangled for years to come. She knew of their partings, their hurts, and how it would all end.

[Blurb One]

"Your Excellency, the Grand Preceptor."

Yueling turned around. The members of the Spirit Fox Clan looked at her with the joy of people who had found something they thought was lost, but she only stared back in confusion.

Everyone said she was Ji Zhi Lu. Three hundred years ago, Ji Zhi Lu, a human, became the Spirit Fox Kingdom's Grand Preceptor. She served the Spirit Fox ruler Wen Qi, and the two were both sovereign and subject, and lovers.

Then Ji Zhi Lu disappeared without warning. No one knew where she went, or why she never returned.

Three hundred years later, she was reincarnated as Yueling. She had no memory of Ji Zhi Lu, but the Spirit Fox Clan remembered. Wen Qi remembered, too.

After the entire Shangguan family was condemned, Yueling fled from place to place. By a twist of fate, she found herself among the Spirit Fox Clan once more, and once again came face to face with Wen Qi.

It was the first time Yueling had ever met her. But Wen Qi looked at her as if she were someone she had lost three hundred years ago.

[Blurb Two]

Yueling thought this was nothing more than an absurd reunion caused by mistaking her for someone else.

Until a princess told her that the circle of time had gone awry. She had to return to three hundred years ago, retrieve the Spirit Fox Clan's token, and set time right.

So she had no choice but to return to the era that belonged to Ji Zhi Lu, to return to Wen Qi's side, to return to the place where it had all begun.
