The Tale of Huang Xi

At first, she was an immortal Golden Phoenix, the beloved only daughter of the Phoenix King of Qishan. She fell in love with the exalted Lord of the Celestial Realm, but their fates clashed, and the Heavenly Emperor, desperate to protect his child, cast her into the eight paths of reincarnation. At the Bridge of Helplessness, she lingered for a long, long time, afraid only of forgetting the one she loved. "Love that runs deep is never forgotten..." Meng Po murmured, holding out the potion. She believed her, unaware that the Heavenly Emperor had placed a forbidden spell in the soup. In the Hall of Lingxiao, a man who had always been gentle pointed his sword at the Heavenly Emperor seated upon the golden throne carved with nine dragons. The Emperor's face, unchanged for ten thousand years, suddenly grew old, yet he refused to reveal why. The man cast aside the crown binding his hair and left in a white robe, as untouchable as dustless snow. After eight lifetimes, he finally found her. All she said was a faint, "Greetings, Immortal." She had forgotten everything and thought herself no more than a lowly fox demon. They spent every day together, yet their deep-seated hatred proved stronger. At a single word from her, he indulged her as she played at life among mortals. She meant to bring chaos to the world, yet could never escape the word love. She fell for the enemy from her past life and forgot the lover she had once known. Could his steadfast devotion bring back the love she once felt? Could his willingness to give up the whole world let them stay together through every lifetime? Daji, Baosi, Yang Yuhuan, Wuyue... One reincarnation after another, one cycle after another. When would it all finally end? Do not mourn the old moon, shining over the river of wine through cycle after cycle...
