As time passes, Dong Fang Yue Chu's admiration for Tu Shan Hong Hong deepens, and a bond gradually forms between them, but there's a catch.

Humans and spirits — while united once upon a time — have been in conflict for many years. It is up to both main characters to combat evil forces to achieve peace between their clans. Featuring a captivating storyline that'll keep you at the edge of your seats, you will grow to love the characters, as they make profound sacrifices that showcase their unwavering and selfless love.

Yang Mi fans, in particular, will be in for a treat as this will be her first time returning to the fantasy genre, years after Eternal Love
