To Wen Zhuo, Shen Tinglan is the gentle master who raised her with his own hands;
he is the devoted husband who defied the laws of Heaven and secretly pledged himself to her;
and he is also her sworn enemy, the one who nearly had her sealed beneath the Eastern Sea for ten thousand years.
To kill Shen Tinglan, Wen Zhuo destroyed her own body and descended into the mortal realm as the original soul of a candle flame.
The human world was vast, but fortunately, the Soul-Tangling Thread, a magical artifact they had used to pledge their love, guided her to him.
Reincarnated, Shen Tinglan knew nothing of their past.
He was naive, adorable, childish, and utterly guileless.
Wen Zhuo easily became his closest friend.
She led him into a deadly trap. As he exhausted his magic to protect her, she leaned close to his ear and bid him farewell:
"Master, you said that faithless scoundrels deserve to be pierced by ten thousand arrows. Your disciple will follow your teachings."

When Shen Tinglan was young, he went down the mountain to train and was killed three times by one person. He lost all three of his souls and was left with only a shell, barely clinging to life in this world.
If he died one more time, his soul would scatter and he would vanish completely.
That person wouldn't stop until he was dead. Shen Tinglan knew it.
She would plunge her sword into his heart once again.
She was vicious and ruthless, warm on the outside and cold at heart, with the bearing of a dragon and the bones of a Buddha, carefree and uninhibited, love at first sight, restless and lovesick...
He'd waited for so long. Why hadn't she come yet?
Shen Tinglan decided to go and meet Wen Zhuo himself.

Above the Eastern Sea, immortals blotted out the sky, and towering waves rose one after another.
Wen Zhuo stood alone on the surface of the sea, struggling to hold on with the frail original soul of a candle flame.
She didn't want to be cast down to the seabed. The endless darkness and seawater would make her wish she were dead.
But her magic was weak, she had no body, and she couldn't even withstand a single bolt of heavenly lightning.
Rumble after rumble, Wen Zhuo's heart sank into despair. She stubbornly lifted her head, wanting to etch the ugly faces of the gods and Buddhas across the sky into her memory before she took her own life.
Then a familiar figure suddenly appeared, standing in front of her.
Shen Tinglan withstood eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning with his soulless body, then fled into the dark depths of the sea. Before his body and spirit were destroyed, Wen Zhuo found him.
Most of Shen Tinglan's body had already gone rigid. With trembling hands, Wen Zhuo slowly pointed her sword at his heart. Shen Tinglan managed a faint smile and said:
"What took you so long?"
A Zhuo, this time I bet you'll soften your heart.
