[Childhood friends turned martial siblings, six-year age gap, a real green tea and a fake white lotus]
Duan Baoyin was kicked off the Bridge of Helplessness by Granny Meng because she thought Baoyin's death had been too muddled.
Unless Baoyin found the person who killed her, she would have to wander endlessly through the cycle of life and death, reliving her past over and over, with no chance of reincarnation.
Before being sent back to the mortal world, Duan Baoyin gave Granny Meng a bracelet in exchange for three questions.
Duan Baoyin: "Who in this world most wants me dead?"
Granny Meng: "Your martial brother, Duan Baoling."
Duan Baoyin: "What?! Who is he really?"
Granny Meng: "He's a fox in disguise."
Duan Baoyin: "...And what else?"
Granny Meng: "Oh, and he's the kind of fox with a very big, very soft tail."
Duan Baoyin: "???"

Reborn as a child, Duan Baoyin returns to the exact moment when she was pouting at her martial brother, asking if she was really his martial sister.
Then Duan Baoyin looks at the prime suspect in her murder and, before he can say the words that misled her for her whole life, leaps up and gives him a hard slap.
Martial brother: "???"

The second time Duan Baoyin reaches the Bridge of Helplessness, she obediently and expertly gives Granny Meng another bracelet and trades it for three more questions.
Duan Baoyin: "I want to know my martial brother's biggest secret."
Granny Meng: "His biggest secret is that he likes you."
Duan Baoyin: "Then what does he really want?"
Granny Meng: "He wants you to be happy."
Duan Baoyin: "...And what else?"
Granny Meng: "He also wants to be your little fox in his next life, cuddling with you under the covers in winter."
