Emperor Lian Heng of the Radiant Realm saved the White Phoenix clan. An An, a pure-blooded phoenix, was sent to him as a child bride while she was still an egg.
Only in the end did she learn that she had been brought back solely to serve as a one-day medicinal catalyst for the woman Lian Heng loved.
On the day she took human form, all the immortals saw the beautiful white phoenix soaring across the sky. She left behind only a Moon-Chasing Feather, repaying the debt of gratitude.
Then she fell into the mortal world, never to be found again.

With nothing better to do, Fuxing read her fate and discovered that she was destined to face a romantic tribulation within the next forty thousand years.
She immediately sealed off Mount Dusk and went into a deep, closed-door slumber.
She never expected that in the thirty-nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-second year, a strand of her primordial spirit would leave her body and enter the cycle of reincarnation.
When the forty-thousand-year deadline arrived, Fuxing awoke to discover that not only had she failed her tribulation, she had also lost a strand of her primordial spirit and all her memories of that incarnation.
Following the trail of her lost spirit, she fought her way up to the Heavenly Realm and ran into Lian Heng, who blocked her path.
“Get out of my way.”
An immortal official scolded her: “This is the Emperor!”
Fuxing suddenly understood. “So you're Emperor Qinglin. It's been years, and you're as handsome as ever. I'm smitten.”
Lian Heng remained expressionless. “Emperor Qinglin has been dead for many years.”
Fuxing sighed. “My condolences, little Borong. When I saw you back then, you were only as tall as my knee, and you insisted you were going to marry me.”
Lian Heng was silent for a long time. “Emperor Borong was my great-grandfather.”
Fuxing lamented, “The dragon clan really does have a tragically short lifespan.”
Fuxing asked, “Does Your Majesty have any children?”
Lian Heng replied, “No.”
With a blade at Lian Heng's neck, Fuxing grinned. “Does Your Majesty want the dragon clan to die out?”

Lian Heng pursued her all the way to Mount Dusk. Immortal Venerable Fuxing was holding a white fox from Qingqiu in her left arm and a phoenix from Mount Qiwutong in her right. In the pool beside her was a mermaid from the East Sea, while a bluebird from the immortal clan danced nearby...
Lian Heng knew that Immortal Venerable Fuxing of Mount Dusk loved beautiful things most of all.
So he changed back into his true form.
Fuxing smiled brightly at him, grabbed him by the horns, and tossed the majestic golden dragon out through the mountain gate.
“Didn't the dragon clan's ancestral precepts tell you that Immortal Venerable Fuxing of Mount Dusk hates naked, wriggling worms most of all?”
Content warnings: 1. Both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance.
2. The heroine's reincarnated spirit has no memories, like a blank slate.
3. The White Phoenix's past life was a deception; the male lead is not a scumbag.
4. Strong heroine. She's a veteran flirt who keeps her admirers but doesn't eat them.
Theme: Face the setbacks life brings with optimism.
