Synopsis
In order to save the world from Devil God Tantai Jin (澹台烬), Li Susu (黎苏苏), daughter of Hengyang Sect's leader, travels back 500 years as Ye Xiwu (叶夕雾) and is tasked with preventing the young Tantai Jin from becoming the Devil God by shooting six soul-slaying nails into his heart. Unbeknownst to her, Ye Xiwu is married to Tantai Jin, who is currently a hostage prince from the Kingdom of Jing (景国). The two develop romantic feelings for each other, and Li Susu sacrifices herself to change the fate of Tantai Jin and the world.
After losing Li Susu, a grief-stricken Tantai Jin searches for her soul for 500 years and was rescued by a cultivation sect. He then develops into a cultivator, becomes a force for good, and even meets the reborn Li Susu again. Just as the two rekindle their love, the revelation of Tantai Jin's demonic origins nonetheless brings about controversy and evil intentions, driving the three realms into danger again. Facing a brutal fate, Tantai Jin sets in motion a plan, and despite numerous misunderstandings, the two work together to stop the end of the world.[2]
