Jiang Wanzhao is the last princess of the Great Yanxian Dynasty. She is cursed by her bloodline - she will not live to be twenty years old.
When she was nineteen, she only had one year left. There is no spiritual root, no support, only a torn book picked up from the ruins and a list of "one hundred little things to do before death." Eat a bite of freshly baked sweet-scented osmanthus cake, listen to a storyteller who doesn't distort the truth, learn a curse word in dialect, walk in the rain without an umbrella, have a fight with someone... These trivial wishes are her weapons against fate.
She met a young man sweeping the floor in the Sutra Pavilion. His name is Su Chen, his cultivation is unfathomable, but he has been sweeping away the land behind the Qingyun Sect for three hundred years. He has a pair of eyes that are still disturbed by her after seeing her for thousands of years, a past that he dares not speak out, and a heart that has been sealed away by guilt for so long that he almost forgot how to beat.
One lives toward death, the other hides toward life.
She taught him how to live, and he stayed with her until the last day.
This is a story about "living" - not how to live, but how to live.
Concept: How should people face a life destined to be lost?
