Yinghuo is a phoenix. She diligently underwent nirvana nine times, thinking that godhood was just around the corner, only for the Heavenly Dao to tell her, "You still have a love tribulation to go through in one lifetime. You cannot become a god yet."
So the Heavenly Dao sent her back to the mortal realm, where she became a plump little...
Bird egg.
*
Reborn with no memories, she knows only that the person tied to her love tribulation is the lofty Immortal Venerable Zhaolu, Wu Bailing.
Yinghuo has no idea what love is, so she can only imitate the stories she has read and clumsily try to win Wu Bailing's favor.
By chance, she glimpses a portrait frozen in ice in a secret chamber. The woman in it looks almost exactly like her, except for a crimson cinnabar mark between her brows.
Only then does Yinghuo understand: all of Wu Bailing's tenderness was meant for someone else, whom she saw when looking at Yinghuo.
Forget it. Whoever wants this suffering can have it, and whoever wants to become a god can do it.
She's running away!
*
When word of it reaches her, the normally composed Wu Bailing loses her nerve and searches across the mortal world, all three thousand realms of it, to find that familiar face again.
Heaven rewards the diligent. At last, she finds Yinghuo. Unlike Wu Bailing, who is a complete mess, Yinghuo has been taking good care of herself and has even put on quite a bit of weight.
As Wu Bailing approaches step by step, Yinghuo says coolly, "Your Excellency has mistaken me for someone else. I'm not her."
But Wu Bailing embraces Yinghuo with trembling arms, her eyes filled with an obsession and panic Yinghuo has never seen before. "I never mistook you for anyone. The one who made me suffer unbearably five hundred years ago, and the one I have regretted losing for five hundred years..."
"It has always been you."
