Qi Zhi had loved Gu Tingshuang for many years. At last, her wish came true. She became Gu Tingshuang’s Dao partner. She knew there was always an unattainable white moonlight (long-cherished lover) in Gu Tingshuang’s heart, but she didn’t mind. She believed that as long as she was patient, one day Gu Tingshuang would finally turn back and see her.
But what Qi Zhi ended up waiting for wasn’t Gu Tingshuang’s love. It was Gu Tingshuang’s heavenly tribulation.
When the sect master nailed her to the Ascension Platform, Qi Zhi finally understood: Gu Tingshuang hadn’t married her out of love. It was because of her unique body, which could take the thunder tribulation in Gu Tingshuang’s place. From beginning to end, Gu Tingshuang had never loved her.

Ten years after her death, Qi Zhi is reborn in the body of a sect disciple. What she hears shocks her: in these ten years, people have only praised how deeply Gu Tingshuang had loved her. They say that she (Qi Zhi) willingly bore the tribulation for her partner; that Gu Tingshuang suffered grave injuries because of it, gave up the chance to ascend, and kept vigil by Qi Zhi’s corpse year after year—the very picture of an enviable dao couple in the cultivation world.
Hearing this, Qi Zhi is so furious she could claw her way out of the grave. Looking at Gu Tingshuang who was now the sect master, she vows that in this life she’ll have nothing to do with her. This time, she’ll live free and unrestrained, for herself.
Gu Tingshuang spent ten years guarding her lover’s corpse. She thought the rest of her long life would pass the same way—until she met someone who felt achingly familiar.
Everyone says Gu Tingshuang is cold and untouchable but only she knows the truth: she went mad ten years ago.
