share time: 2025-10-06 00:33:27

Jichen, the monk living next to the Prime Minister's mansion, seems to have renounced all worldly desires, but he's been guarding a 300-year secret—waiting for Aru, the little palace maid who sacrificed her soul to save him in a past life. Now Aru has reincarnated as Li Xiaoru, an unloved illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, who's just been pushed to marry the tyrannical prince. Unexpectedly, she regains her past life memories: she was once the sword spirit protecting Jichen. Before dissipating to block a heavenly catastrophe, Jichen vowed, “I won't enter samsara until you return.” But in this life, the prince's rebellion plot, the Prime Minister's schemes, and the gap between immortal monk and mortal—all stand in their way. Li Xiaoru struggles to break free from fate, while Jichen risks breaking Buddhist precepts to embrace his love. Yet as the chaos of the kingdom unfolds, is their love a redemption… or another catastrophe?
