The moment Mu Xuanling released her, A Bao instinctively dropped to all fours, her childish voice piping up earnestly. "Big Brother, don't you recognize me?" Fu Lansheng's suspicious gaze darted between the three of them before finally settling on the little girl crouched like a mouse on the floor.

"A Bao, you're in human form now. You can't act like a mouse anymore." A Bao wrinkled her nose, fidgeting with her skirt hem. Her large, dark eyes clouded with worry.

Raw Link: Midnight Song

Synopsis:

Xi Jiuge, the most powerful goddess in the Three Realms, had her engagement publicly shattered. Before the eyes of countless guests, the Crown Prince of the Xuan Emperor abandoned his dazzling bride and departed with a seductive witch.

That very night, a stranger stormed the palace, leaving a trail of blood from the slaughtered Three Heavenly Palaces. He leaned close to Xi Jiuge, his fingers brushing her chin, and asked coldly, "Where's Chang Ju?"

Chang Ju—the witch who had stolen her fiancé. With betrayal weighing heavily and her fiercely loyal protector, Li Hanguang, ready to settle scores, Xi Jiuge knew she couldn’t afford another misfortune. Lifting her chin with resolve, she spoke, "Your Majesty, let’s make a deal."

The two men agreed to return to the past, seeking to reclaim what was theirs. Yet both hid their true intentions. Reborn, Xi Jiuge aimed to eliminate Li Hanguang once and for all, while he sought to break off her engagement and claim his place beside her.

Li Hanguang, the illegitimate son of the Xuan Emperor and the demon clan, was a figure both revered and feared—aloof, noble, yet paranoid and dangerously cunning. The goddess, untouchable and ruthless, was fated to be the fiancée of his half-brother. To him, she was the sun he could never possess, yet he would stop at nothing to make her his.

A tale of betrayal, ambition, and forbidden love begins, where gods, demons, and mortals collide in a battle for the heart of the goddess.
