White peony Xiangyu cultivated for a thousand years, only to track down the reincarnated scholar Huang Jue. The compass is in disarray and space-time is inverted; she takes Jiangxue into Laoshan, battles demon exterminators, and crosses the mortal tribulation. Every year when flowers bloom, she protects him with her body through the cycle of withering and flourishing, solely for a thread of karmic affinity. Blooming is a tribulation, withering is destiny, and a millennium of obsession transforms into an undefeated peony, guarding him in peace through every lifetime.
