Chi Ying was always having the same dream. Someone called her name again and again, but no matter how hard she focused, she couldn't make out his face.
Until one day, she finally glimpsed him. Refined and otherworldly, breathtakingly handsome, yet drenched in blood and radiating murderous energy.
She screamed herself awake. After searching through ancient texts, she discovered to her horror that the man in her dream was Shang Lu, the Ghost King who had nearly overturned the Three Realms decades ago.
But why would this notorious Ghost King haunt an ordinary girl like her?
Before she could figure it out, Shang Lu stepped out of her dream one day and appeared in the real world.
Chi Ying frantically questioned the people around her, only to discover that she was the only one in the entire world who could see this demon.
She was on the verge of a breakdown. Shang Lu stared at her, his expression complicated. "Do you truly not remember me?"
Chi Ying was bewildered. "Am I supposed to remember you?"
She searched the ancient texts again and uncovered a shocking secret. The Ghost King Shang Lu had once sworn his life to a woman. The two had sought to destroy heaven and earth, but a sage stopped them.
Shang Lu's soul dispersed, and the woman's whereabouts became a mystery.
A chilling suspicion surfaced in Chi Ying's mind. Her voice trembled. "You came looking for me... Could I be..."
"Yes," Shang Lu whispered with a smile. "Your subordinate is here to welcome you back, my lady."
How could this be? She had never harbored evil thoughts in this life. Had she really tried to destroy the world in her previous life?
To atone for her sins, Chi Ying joined the sect of the sage who had saved the world. But the deeper her cultivation grew, the more she began to suspect that the apocalyptic calamity of the past had not been as simple as it seemed.
