In their previous lives, Jiang Xing and Jiang Lin met as children. Both were prodigies, and their families were rivals, so they never lacked for arguments or fights. Jiang Lin was cold as ice, but Jiang Xing, bold and unrestrained, could always get under his skin with ease.
They couldn't stand each other and vowed never to cross paths again. Yet the very next moment, they were assigned to the same team.
To complete their mission, Jiang Xing had no choice but to get along with Jiang Lin. After going through life and death together, the tension between them eased, and they gradually formed a bond of mutual respect as teammates.
During their final mission, Jiang Xing pushed Jiang Lin out of harm's way and fell into the Nightmare Slurry below.
A generation's Venerable Law died at the Enchanted Altar in the Nightmare Realm.
When Jiang Xing woke again, he could no longer remember the pain of being burned by the Nightmare Slurry in his previous life, but his heart still ached despite himself.
"Jiang Lin, do you regret meeting me?"
"I do."

More than once, Jiang Lin had wished they could go their separate ways as soon as possible.
Now, the youthful feud of the past seemed to Jiang Lin like a sweet nightmare.
After Jiang Xing's death, heavy snow began falling over Yunhe Peak overnight. For the next five years, it seemed the whole world was swallowed by an endless blanket of snow.
