> The Longest Promise Recap

Huo Tu Tribe, the Princess of the Chi Tribe, Zhu Yan, was arranged by the Emperor to marry the Prince of the Huo Tu Tribe, Prince Ke'erke. Outside the tribe, everyone celebrated the prince's wedding, but inside the tent, Zhu Yan used a brush to draw her own portrait and turned it into an illusion of herself, planning to secretly escape. Her maidservant tried to persuade her not to run away, but Zhu Yan was determined not to marry someone she didn't love.

During the wedding of Prince Ke'erke and Zhu Yan, a sand demon suddenly appeared, causing chaos as the guests fled. Unbeknownst to everyone, the sand demon was controlled by Zhu Yan herself. She used the sand demon to destroy her illusion and then quickly fled from the Huo Tu Tribe. On her way, she unexpectedly met her master, Shi Ying, who had been invited by Zhu Yan to attend the wedding.

In the realm of Six Harmonies and Four Seas lies a mystical island called Yun Huang, inhabited by the Kongsang, Jiao, and Ice tribes. Seven thousand years ago, Kongsang Langxuan unified Yun Huang but fell under the influence of the destructive god, Xu Yao. Chaos ensued in Kongsang as six kings fought secretly, while the Jiao Sea Kingdom and the Ice Tribe wreaked havoc, plunging Yun Huang into war once again.

Shi Ying, the Crown Prince of Kongsang, had been training in martial arts since childhood, aiming to change the turmoil in Yun Huang. Zhu Yan, the Chi Tribe princess, wanted to pick the most beautiful Snow Hanwei as a gift for the Crown Prince. Zhu Yan wished to learn the most powerful spells to protect the Western Wasteland, but her father disagreed, thinking that as a princess, she didn't need to learn such things. Zhu Yan sought the Crown Prince's permission to study magic, not knowing that the young man who helped her pick the Snow Hanwei was the Crown Prince Shi Ying.

On her way, Empress Bai Yan of Kongsang met with the Jiao Tribe's Queen, Song of Autumn Water. As the Queen was pregnant, Empress Bai Yan graciously made way for her. Zhu Yan accidentally fell in front of the Queen's carriage, which led to a misunderstanding. The Queen thought Zhu Yan had intentionally bumped into her and crushed the Snow Hanwei in Zhu Yan's hand, believing the Chi Tribe intended to harm her and her child. However, Shi Ying arrived just in time to prevent any harm to Zhu Yan and calmed the situation. He revealed his identity as the Crown Prince, and Zhu Yan recognized him as the young man who helped her earlier.

Zhu Yan blamed herself for losing the Snow Hanwei given to her by Shi Ying. The Jiao Tribe's steward, Chiyuan, found the Snow Hanwei and returned it to Zhu Yan. Grateful, Zhu Yan decided to risk her life to mourn Shi Ying since she didn't believe he was a wicked person. Chiyuan knew he couldn't stop her, so he promised to accompany Zhu Yan to protect her during the journey.

Before the fire broke out in the palace, Shi Ying planned to leave with Empress Bai Yan. The Empress gave Shi Ying an ancient artifact called Jade Bone, which he later used to create a puppet in her likeness. Empress Bai Yan told Shi Ying that he didn't need to seek revenge and should just live his life well. Shi Ying then pledged that once he completed his training in Jiuyi Mountain, he would return to clear his mother's name.

Zhu Yan secretly mourned Shi Ying, tears sliding down her face as she held the Snow Han Wei, causing a faint cold light to flash and disappear into her forehead. The Great Destiny, observing from the realm of fate, sensed that someone had done something for Shi Ying and decreed that when the Yin and Yang meet and the Luli flowers bloom, Shi Ying must kill this person. Otherwise, this person would become the one who takes Shi Ying's life. On the other hand, Zhu Yan vowed to learn the Spring in the Withered Wood technique, intending to use it to assist the Crown Prince Shi Ying in his return.

Many years later, Zhu Yan waited anxiously for seven days to meet Master Xuan Zhen. She had been devoted to seeking help to bring Shi Ying back to the mortal realm. Master Xuan Zhen believed that the Return to Yuan technique was the most extraordinary and forbidden spell in the world, and he could not assist Zhu Yan. Instead, he advised Zhu Yan to go to Mount Jiuyi for a trial. Mount Jiuyi was the supreme place of the Kongsang magic, where one could find the technique of resurrection.
