Luo Miaoyin was the treasured Princess Fenglan of the Zhao Kingdom. If nothing unexpected happened, she would have enjoyed a life of wealth and comfort, safe and sound until the end.
Unfortunately, when she was eight, she fell gravely ill. There was no cure. Her parents searched everywhere for renowned doctors, but no one could save her. Her hair turned a strange white, and everyone saw her as an evil spirit.
Later, a traveling sorcerer saved her life. As his reward, he stayed and became the Imperial Preceptor. By the time of his fiftieth birthday, he was still as handsome as ever, while she had grown old and frail.
Knowing her time was near, she invited him to take one last walk around the palace with her. They strolled along the long corridors and finally climbed to the city tower.
On the last day of the Lunar New Year, he accompanied her to the top of the tower and asked whether, with death at her door, there was anyone she could not forget, or any scenery or fine wine she still yearned for.
Luo Miaoyin smiled faintly and shook her head. With her final breath, she made a wish: May the gods protect me, so that in every life, I never meet him again.
Who knew that fate would turn, and the person he loved would be left hovering between life and death, while she herself would fail to die completely?
The first thing Luo Miaoyin did after returning to the Immortal Palace was crush the demon princess who had impersonated her and plotted against her into dust. The second was to enter the cycle of reincarnation and reshape her immortal bones, then find a way to trip up the down-and-out Demon Lord through all nine of his mortal lives.
