The newly crowned top scholar Xie Shiyan bears a black tear mole at the corner of his right eye and an old crescent scar on the tiger's mouth of his hand. Lin Wan is trapped in recurring nightmares night after night, haunted by a mysterious tyrant clad in purple robes embroidered with nine lotus flowers.

An entanglement spanning two lifetimes, an unavoidable destiny.
