"A kind thought, a kindness repaid. I'll give everything I have to return your deep love in this lifetime." The snake demon Qingheng had cultivated for a thousand years, all in the hope of attaining immortality and earning a place among the ranks of the immortals. But a careless promise to a mortal plunged him into the endless turmoil of the human world, leaving his path to immortality uncertain... The physician Shanshui had a tragic past and no one to rely on, yet remained kindhearted and faced fate with a smile. But he fell in love with a demon and lost his life. Even after seven cycles of reincarnation, the obsession he held onto refused to fade...
Shanshui: "I saved your life, so you should give yourself to me. What's wrong with that?"
Qingheng: "Humans and demons belong to different worlds. Nothing good can come of it. Why insist?"
Shanshui: "Humans and demons are separated by time, Qingheng. Just consider me greedy for those few fleeting moments with you."
Qingheng: "What if you have to give up your life in exchange?"
Shanshui: "I would gladly do it."
In short, this is a tragic romance spanning seven lifetimes between a snake demon and a mortal. Qingheng is the top, and Shanshui is the bottom. (Physical and emotional angst, the bottom suffers in the early stages, the top in the middle, happy ending.)
Theme: Obsession and entanglement, love and hate, rescue and redemption. No matter which of life's six sufferings we face, I will never let go of your hand.
