Yan Ruyu transmigrated into the Great Duan Dynasty after a car accident. Though she could cultivate immortality, she chose not to, wishing only to live as an ordinary person, experience everything the world had to offer, and share a good life with her parents. Then she happened to meet the poor young man Xu Pin. He was willing to offer her the realm as a betrothal gift, and the two tested each other as they weathered trials of life and death.
Yan Ruyu's birth mother, Fang Huiru, said, "To be born human is to make a journey through the mortal world. Life's eight hardships are also its eight joys. Without birth, where would death come from? Without illness, how would we know health? Without love, how could there be parting? Without resentment, how could there be hatred? Without longing, what would we seek? Without taking, what would we let go? Every experience is a form of cultivation."
Of course, her next words were, "Now that I have your father, I wish we could stay together every day. What's so great about cultivating immortality?"
Yan Ruyu grew up being fed "couple's sweetness," and, influenced by what she saw and heard, she made a wish.
"May I find one person, with two hearts devoted to each other for the long haul, and peaceful, happy years together. May true love never deceive me."
