Shu Yao, a goddess of the Great Wilderness, slept for a thousand years. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in Jiangli, a desolate region in the mortal world.
Shu Yao blinked, realizing she had awakened in the body of a mortal woman in a dreamlike world. The woman's name was He Yunli. She was the granddaughter of a wet nurse from a marquis's household. Years ago, the wet nurse had passed her off as a princess and sent her to live in the marquis's estate. For sixteen years, she had enjoyed a life of luxury. But now the truth had come out, and He Yunli had gone from a phoenix perched on a branch to a chicken in the dirt, exiled to Jiangli, where snow covered the ground all year.
Shu Yao was a little annoyed. With her noble bloodline as an ancient goddess, how had she ended up in such a mortal body? So, amid the icy wind and snow, Shu Yao rolled over, planning to let He Yunli die quickly...
Then another voice suddenly rang out in her mind: Shu Yao, do you remember Mu Xuan, the fox you kept? He's been trapped in this dream world for a thousand years. Don't you want to save him?
Later, Shu Yao learned that Mu Xuan had become Chu Yang, the tragic villain in the dream world. Chu Yang was dark, obsessive, and merciless, and he loved Chu Chun, the last princess of the marquis's household. But Chu Chun and a prince had already fallen in love. Later, to win her, Chu Yang first seized the throne, gathered rebels, and marched on Changjing.
Unfortunately, after his rebellion failed, Chu Yang was pierced by a thousand arrows, burned alive, and reduced to ashes...
Shu Yao was so furious she flipped the table. I'd been asleep for a thousand years, and you reduced my beloved pet to ashes how many times?
Later, she eagerly set out to save her beloved pet.
But she never expected that from the moment she chose to awaken in He Yunli's body, this dream world, which had repeated the same thousand years without change, would soon collapse because of her return. The heavens and earth would change color, and the world would teeter on the brink of destruction!
Since ancient times, Shu Yao had never dared to give her heart to a mortal. Any man loved by an ancient goddess, whether immortal or mortal, would incur the wrath of Heaven and suffer a devastating lightning tribulation. Shu Yao knew Mu Xuan was too weak to withstand even one strike, so a thousand years ago, before she could fall for him, she sent him away. This time, before setting out into the dream world, Shu Yao had resolved that once she rescued Mu Xuan and escaped, she would leave without a second thought and never return.
But Shu Yao didn't know that Mu Xuan had never believed there was any tribulation in this world that couldn't be overcome! Whether he was a fox, a man, a demon, or a god... he had never believed it!
Shu Yao: I can't love you. You wouldn't survive it.
Mu Xuan: Let's find out!
