A soul reborn—broken by fate, bound by vengeance, undone by love.
When Zhang Bai massacres the Tian clan, seventeen-year-old Tian Wen dies by his blade—and wakes up in a stranger's body. With a stolen life and a single purpose, Wen infiltrates the elite cultivation academy where Zhang Bai is headmaster, determined to avenge his family.
At the academy, Wen crosses paths with Zhang Xu—Zhang Bai's son, and the boy who was once his secret love before betrayal and blood tore them apart. Xu does not recognize him. Yet the bond between them seems to transcend death.
As Wen draws closer to the truth hidden in the academy's forbidden halls, he finds himself torn between the vengeance he's seeking and the love he thought he'd lost. In a borrowed body slowly failing him, time is running out.
Can Wen and Xu defy fate—or will the boy who died once lose everything a second time?
