Jiu Wu's motto in life consists of four words: do whatever you please.
But life is full of twists and turns, and it is never that easy to do as you please.
If the feudal arranged marriage the old man insisted on while he was alive was the first challenge, then after Jiu Wu had repeatedly and recklessly declared that he wanted to break off the engagement, discovering that his betrothed in name was precisely the girl he had been searching for without success became another cruel joke played by fate.
The girl's name was Gong Zhi. She said she was willing to break off the engagement too, because she had already fallen for someone.
Jiu Wu joked out of habit. Ignoring the inexplicable ache in his heart, he said, "Then I wish you two a lifetime of happiness."
Gong Zhi had a naturally cold face and showed no expression. He was already dead.

Achord said, "The hardest thing to get over isn't a beloved who only exists in your memories. It's one who's dead. Alliance Leader, you're done for."
Jiu Wu thought, That is true. Even knowing she loves someone else, I still like her without hesitation. Looks like I'm really done for.

When Gong Zhi was fourteen, she met the best person in the world. He had extraordinary powers and could take on a hundred enemies alone. He was brave and fearless, making it his mission to exorcise evil, uphold justice, and save the realms from danger. Though he had come to understand the vastness of the world, he still cherished every blade of grass and tree.
But someone as wonderful as him was brought down by her.
He died, just before dawn.
From that moment on, she resolved to live as he had. She would complete every dream he had left unfinished.
No matter what lay ahead, no matter life or death.
But she never imagined that she could meet him again, standing before her as full of life as ever.
Thank goodness.
As long as he was alive, it didn't matter that he no longer remembered her at all, or that he had fallen for someone else.
