Lotus Tribulation: Reincarnation for Thousands of Years, Just to Find You

I am the demon who has been guarding the Forgotten River for thousands of years. A red dress stained with the blood and tears of mortal world, the lotus flower in my palm bloomed and withered, then bloomed again. Each petal is engraved with a name that I have never forgotten despite my countless reincarnations. Heaven has judged me that my demonic nature is hard to eradicate, and my emotional tribulation is hard to overcome. I have been punished for life after life, unable to love, unable to see, and unable to forget until death. In the first life, I was the enchanting concubine of the Qing Dynasty, and you were the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. In the Jinluan Palace, you allowed me to be your only favorite for the rest of my life, but in the end, I couldn't match the power of the country. I drank a glass of poisonous wine with a smile, and saw the scarlet red in your eyes, but you didn't move even half a step. When my soul was gone, I held half a withered lotus and vowed not to suffer the fate of an emperor again in the next life. In the second life, I was a mortal woman, and you were a Taoist immortal. Next to the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, you moved your earthly heart, but for the sake of ascending to the great road, you personally ended our relationship. I traveled across thousands of mountains, begging for a turn back, and only got your words, "We are different in Tao, so we don't want to work together." I jumped off the Immortal Killing Platform, and my lotus soul was shattered, still carrying my obsession. The third life, the fiftieth life, the one hundredth life... In every life, I follow the mark of the lotus to find you. In every life, I can't escape the separation of life and death. I love you to the point of breaking my heart, and in the end we forget each other. I drank bowl after bowl of Wangchuan water and drank round after round of Meng Po soup, but the memory engraved in my soul bones could not be erased. I have seen your youthful spirit, your dominion over the world, your commoner poverty, your immortal demeanor. Every face is yours, and every encounter is a calamity. The fire of red lotus karma burns my body, and the wind and frost of thousands of years corrodes my bones. I go against the cycle of reincarnation, rush through the underworld, and step on the blue sky.
