share time: 2025-12-03 00:36:09

Zhao, the Underworld's Envoy of Fate who has guarded the Book of Life and Death for a millennium, has never shown mercy—until she encounters Lu Shiyan, a dying cardiac surgeon. He was supposed to die of a heart attack on the operating table, but he forced himself to survive three more hours to save a dying little girl. Upon investigation, Zhao discovers Lu is her past-life savior—she once sacrificed her soul to save him, and now he's still 'defying fate' in his reincarnation. She breaks the Underworld's rules to tamper with the Book and extend his life, only to incur a heavenly punishment: if Lu doesn't recall his past life within three days, she will vanish into ashes. As Lu gradually pieces together his past memories, he uncovers the cruellest truth—his 'death' back then was a trap Zhao set to save him...
