Qi Li is an unlucky child. Her immortal father died when she was born, and she lost her monster mother.
Qi Li is also a lucky child. She met a mother who wanted to give her a home, and a father who raised her.
She loves her mother, even though her dead body isn't warm at all.
She loves her father, too, even though he turned into a foolish airhead.

Feng Yao's dream is simple: build a happy little home with the person she loves, have an adorable child, and live a peaceful life. That's all she wants.
But her first love shattered that dream.
She hates being called "Taohua," yet she has no choice but to use that name to survive.
Her rotten life once seemed utterly hopeless, but Heaven gave her a little angel.
With Qi Li in her life, the dream that broke when she was young seems as if it might be pieced back together.

When Si Yaosen found Qi Li, barely clothed, in the wilderness, he didn't know she was a monster child over a hundred years old.
He only thought that her eerie eyes looked like a beast crouching in the dark, impossible to look away from.
The monster went home with a human, and brought strange things along with her.
A wandering immortal, insect monsters, evil spirits, ghosts, and desires that refuse to fade.
--
At twenty, Qi Li has shed her childishness. Her face bears an eerie beauty, breathtakingly lovely.
After all these years apart, he still can't forget her. He only wants to ask one thing:
"Do you regret meeting me?"
The prayer beads in the man's hand stopped turning. His dazed gaze lifted, but he only stared at her in a trance.
