Bai Fengjiu uses her blood to seal an evil tiger spirit, causing irreparable damage to her spirit. She finds out that she has until her Heavenly Trial to live. She knows that Donghua Dijun does not love her back, but she couldn't help but be a little selfish to reach for her dream one last time before she perishes. "Donghua will you marry me? We only need to be together until my Heavenly Trial, not forever. After I pass my trial, my father will be convinced I can live without a prince consort. We can separate then.... Then I would keep my father from worrying and we won't need to stay together forever so.... That.... That's not defying fate is it?" Donghua Dijun is shocked to find the woman he has been missing for over 200 years, lying beside him in bed, proposing. At a moment of weakness, he agrees. Unknown to him, the woman he loves is about to face her fated calamity.

Children of Qingqiu have been going missing. A suspicious person is claiming to be Wenchang Dijun, Fengjiu's fated lover. Donghua is quickly realizing the consequences of his past carelessness, but now it may be too late to turn the hands of fate again.
