The Tribulation of Tracing Light

On the night the immortal sect is destroyed, the good-for-nothing disciple Qiu Biao flees to a brothel in the mortal realm, just to stay alive.

Qiu Yanyun, the top courtesan of Qixiu House, is peerlessly beautiful yet cold by nature. And yet she gives this blood-soaked little servant an ancient glass lamp that can reveal past and present lives.

On the night of the full moon, the lamplight flickers. Through its glassy glow, Qiu Biao glimpses the truth:

The brothel's star courtesan was once a god of slaughter who fell from the immortal realm, while he is merely the most insignificant speck of dust in her ten-thousand-year tribulation of love.

Clutching the shattered glass and his true feelings, he looks up beneath the blood moon and cries out:

"If I am only the ashes of a tribulation, why let me encounter the light?"

She stands amid the ruins of the ninth heaven's collapsing immortal palace, looking back at that tiny flame in the mortal world, and finally remembers:

Deep within every speck of tribulation ash lies a sun she personally extinguished during the last annihilation of the universe.
