Synopsis
When the primordial god created the world, Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi were formed from the vital energy of his divine grace. Over thousands of years, they became rivals until Bai Jiusi proposed that they undergo a love tribulation in the mortal realm. However, differing views and a misunderstanding led him to seal Hua Ruyue's powers, forcing her to live in the mortal realm for ten years. After returning, Hua Ruyue sealed Bai Jiusi and caused chaos in the Nine Heavens. When Bai Jiusi later broke free and attempted to confront her, Hua Ruyue ultimately self-destructed out of hatred for him.
Four hundred years later, Li Qingyue, a disciple of the Jingyun Sect with limited spiritual power, becomes involved with Bai Jiusi, and marries him. After entering the Heavenly Realm, she faces repeated threats to her life and learns about Hua Ruyue, Bai Jiusi's first wife, who shared an identical appearance with her. Her resemblance to Hua Ruyue creates tension, as Bai Jiusi suspects she may in fact be Hua Ruyue and repeatedly tests her identity.
