There are eight realms in the world: the Divine, Buddhist, Human, Ghost, Demon, Devil, Spirit, and Painted Realms.
The Buddha said, "You were never fated to meet."
He said, "I would trade five hundred near-misses in this life for one reunion."
So the Buddha gave him two seeds of karma. When they bloomed, the two would meet again.
A series of bizarre murders takes place in the mortal realm. The investigation points to the demons, but unexpectedly uncovers a secret art for bringing the dead back to life.
He helps Qing Huai search for Feng Ying, following the trail of the murders.
She gets involved in the cases while searching for Lu Xing, who descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations.
Moved by the innocent mortals who have suffered, he wants to help them.
As she follows Lu Xing's story, her memories gradually return.
They travel back and forth again and again, both investigating the murders. They follow the clues time and again, only to miss each other over and over.
Perhaps it will truly take five hundred near-misses for the seeds to bloom and for them to meet again.
