On a night split open by lightning, Liaoxuan crosses paths with Fuyan, a wounded fox demon struck down by heavenly tribulation. Compassion moves the monk to intervene—yet the moment their eyes meet, something older than memory stirs. Fuyan recoils from salvation even as he clings to life, his hostility edged with a familiarity neither can name. What seems like a chance encounter is only the surface of a far deeper, far older bond. This is not the first time monk and demon have collided, nor the first life in which their fates have intertwined. In this incarnation, threads from forgotten lives tug at their souls: fragments of devotion, betrayal, tenderness, and ruin that neither fully recalls but both cannot escape. As Liaoxuan edges closer to buddhahood and Fuyan fights the pull of an inexplicable connection, the past presses in, demanding to be remembered. Through shifting identities, blurred loyalties, and the echo of lives long lost, the path ahead narrows to a single truth: After so many lifetimes, will Fuyan accept the compassion reaching out to him—and let himself be redeemed?

During the Xiande period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lord Shen Wei of Jianxing was defeated at the Chashi River in the northeast, which nearly resulted in the loss of six central provinces. His son Shen Zechuan was taken to the capital in disgrace, despised as the son of a loser. Xiao Chiye, the youngest son of the Lord of Libei, rushed to the capital at the news, and nearly beat Shen Zechuan to death. However, the weak-looking Shen Zechuan fought back fiercely, and even bit Xiao Chiye until he bled. It was the start of a fierce feud between the two. Unexpectedly, during their endless conflict, they accidentally discover the real reason for Shen Wei's defeat. (Source: Bilibili, translated)
