According to Bei Chen's account of events from a thousand years ago, Bai Shuo learned about the Fox Clan maiden, Ling Long, who entered Kunlun and fell in love with Rong Xian, the holy son. However, the ongoing conflict between the Eternal Race and the Demon Race made their love unacceptable to both sides. The two decided to live in seclusion, away from worldly affairs. One day, Ling Long suddenly stormed into Kunlun and began a massacre.

Hearing the news, Rong Xian rushed over and killed Ling Long, then unleashed his fury in Jingyou Mountain. To completely break free from the realm of resentment, Bai Shuo proposed preventing Ling Long and Rong Xian from falling in love. However, her immediate priority was to accompany Ling Long to meet Rong Xian.

Ling Long planned to use her charm to seduce Rong Xian and obtain the snow lotus, so Bai Shuo interrupted their conversation at the banquet and diverted Rong Xian’s attention toward herself. Meanwhile, outside the hall, Mu Jiu encountered Bei Chen and was shocked to find him also trapped in the realm of resentment. When Ling Long emerged from the hall, she noticed Mu Jiu being particularly attentive to her, finding it amusing.

However, she misunderstood Rong Xian’s interest in Bai Shuo as love at first sight, which made Fan Yue incredibly jealous. He barged into the banquet, leading Ling Long to mistakenly believe that Bai Shuo and Fan Yue had feelings for each other. To conceal his identity, Fan Yue played along with Ling Long’s assumptions.

Ling Long, wanting to help her “sister” find happiness, decided to distract Rong Xian herself, arranging for Bai Shuo and Fan Yue to steal the snow lotus. Through their secret communication, Fan Yue emphasized the need to complete their mission quickly, as bringing Ling Long back to the Fox Clan sooner would reduce her chances of falling for Rong Xian. Elsewhere, the Kunlun elders captured Bei Chen and subjected him to whipping, demanding to know the Fox Clan’s true intentions.

Bei Chen, having no way to explain, suffered in silence. Mu Jiu, delighting in his plight, even joined in to whip him personally. As night fell, Rong Xian accepted an invitation to have tea with Ling Long. The two engaged in pleasant conversation, while Fan Yue led Bai Shuo to the snowy mountain, deactivated the formation, and retrieved the snow lotus. However, Kunlun disciples ambushed them.

Hearing the alarm bells, Ling Long realized the ambush had been set up long before and angrily accused Rong Xian. To her surprise, Rong Xian revealed they had met once before. Ten years earlier, Rong Xian had been gravely injured and collapsed in Qingling Mountain, where Ling Long had saved him. At the time, his face had been obscured, so Ling Long did not recognize him.

Knowing she needed the snow lotus to save her elder, Rong Xian willingly offered it to her. Ling Long was both shocked and moved, making a note to remember his kindness. Fan Yue, unwilling to fight the Kunlun disciples, used teleportation within the realm of resentment but ultimately failed to prevent Ling Long and Rong Xian from developing feelings for each other. In the next moment, Rong Xian’s obsession transported the four of them three years into the future.

By then, Ling Long and Rong Xian were already married and living in seclusion. Despite occasional arguments, their deep love for each other allowed them to overlook any flaws and focus only on their virtues. While Bai Shuo and Fan Yue initially tried to separate them, they gradually began to understand love through the couple’s influence. At this time, Ling Long was pregnant but had yet to tell Rong Xian.

Just as she prepared to share the happy news, Rong Xian received word from Kunlun that his sect master was gravely ill and near death. The sect master wanted Rong Xian to succeed him as the leader, but Rong Xian refused. He believed the bloodshed between the Eternal and Demon Races over the past millennium should end and was determined to honor his vow to stay with Ling Long for life.

The sect master, seeing Rong Xian’s resolute stance, conspired with the elders to subdue him. They transferred all their spiritual power to Rong Xian and forcibly altered his memory, turning his love for Ling Long into hatred. This scene was witnessed by Mu Jiu from outside the door. Influenced by the memory manipulation, Rong Xian came to believe that the Fox Clan was responsible for his parents’ deaths. Enraged, he personally went to Jingyou Mountain and began a massacre.

Bei Chen tried to stop him but was severely injured. Sensing danger to her clan, Ling Long told Bai Shuo before leaving to cherish her time with Fan Yue and live peacefully in Forget-Worry Valley. She then returned to Jingyou Mountain but was tragically killed by Rong Xian’s sword. Ling Long’s blood splashed into Rong Xian’s eyes, restoring his clarity and memories.

When he learned that Ling Long was pregnant, he was devastated to realize he had killed his wife and child with his own hands, plunging him into unbearable grief.
