"Blurb"

Lei Mingzun of the Nine Netherworlds / Lu Fengming VS the prince of the Celestial Fox Clan / Chao Ge

A cold, taciturn, secretly passionate master VS a clever, delicate apprentice who is easy to push around

A thousand years ago, Chao Ge died for his master, and his soul was sent to the Rebirth Pool of the Nine Netherworlds to be reincarnated.

Yet even as a wisp of a soul in the Nine Netherworlds, he never got that answer from Lu Fengming.

Going against the countless spirits heading for reincarnation, Chao Ge crawled back out of the Rebirth Pool in the underworld.

With every step he took, his memories faded a little more, washed away by the pool water he had touched. Even when the ghost officials of the Nine Netherworlds beat him, he resolutely dragged his wounded, fading soul toward the Bridge of Helplessness.

Chao Ge crossed the Bridge of Helplessness, braved the ghost capital where ghosts played tricks on one another, and waded into the churning, murky red-and-yellow waters of the River of Forgetfulness. Even as the river's vengeful ghosts tore at him, he followed the last fragment of memory he had left, the hem of a robe patterned with lightning, to return to the mortal world.

#The flowers have not fully bloomed, and the moon is not yet full. We love each other, yet cannot be together. With a heart carved in stone and a soul etched into a lattice, I wish you freedom in your next life.#

Hu Pei wore a black official robe edged in narrow red, with a dainty hair crown pinned with green jade. It made him look as clear and luminous as white mutton-fat jade.

His face was handsome, his eyes bright as stars and dark pearls, and his features as elegant as an orchid. Anyone who saw him would feel their heart soften and warm toward him.

2. Chao Cuo suddenly found himself unable to speak.

He looked at Hu Pei's smiling face and exquisitely handsome features, his heart pounding wildly. He knew he had been poisoned by Hu Pei, but he could not stop his feelings from surging up.

He drew a deep breath, hoping to tamp down his restless thoughts. Instead, even the breeze carried Hu Pei's gentle, refined scent, like an orchid fit for a noble gentleman. It entered his lungs and stirred ripples in his heart.

He blurted out,
