For a thousand years, the mists of Jin Mountain have been cold. Lu Jin is a lonely soul shackled by the laws of Heaven.
Without emotions or desires, he lives alone in a barren mountain, enduring endless solitude through the ages. He could have spent his life in cold isolation, untouched by worldly ties.
Then the girl Su Wan comes through the mist, carrying the warmth of the mortal world, and shatters the ice that has sealed him for eons.
One glance is all it takes for love to take root. One stir of the heart brings ten lifetimes of tribulation.
Heaven is merciless. It judges his love a sin and punishes him for showing favor.
Thus begins a cycle of reincarnation with no way out, spanning ten lifetimes.
Carrying the complete memories of all ten lives, he endures the torments of Heaven's punishment. Year after year, he bears it in silence and protects her again and again, watching helplessly as she is reborn, rushing to him with an open heart and dying for love in every life, only to forget their past each time and begin again in regret.
He defies Heaven and sacrifices everything, giving up his cultivation to grant her one peaceful life, only to spend nine lifetimes watching her from afar, loving her without ever attaining her.
She falls for him in every lifetime and loses herself to love, returning to the empty mountain again and again, only to miss the rest of her life each time.
Ten lifetimes of meetings, ten lifetimes of partings.
Ten lifetimes of devotion, ten lifetimes ending in nothing.
Of all the happy endings in the world, none have ever been meant for them.
Everyone else is destined to meet again. Only on Jin Mountain do meetings lead nowhere, and obsession have no end.
Our love was true in all ten lifetimes, yet fate will never let us be together.
