A misunderstanding a thousand years ago caused the Phoenix Clan's patriarch to be reduced to ashes. He later entered the cycle of reincarnation and was reborn as Xuanyuan Ruizhe, crown prince of Fengyu. Then disaster struck Fengyu, and members of the royal family rebelled and usurped the throne. Xuanyuan Ruizhe was forced to live in the Lingxue Hall. Later, on his way to reclaim the throne, he met Shangguan Lan, the daughter of a general from the previous dynasty. The two fell in love. After Xuanyuan Ruizhe reclaimed the throne, the phoenix bloodline within him awakened, restoring his memories of his past life but erasing his memories of this life. Only after regaining his memories did he realize that Shangguan Lan had been his wife in his previous life. And so, filled with hatred, he began another campaign of tormenting his wife.
