Di dunia kultivasi, kebaikan adalah kelemahan. Lin Yuan pernah menjadi murid inti Sekte Awan Giok, seorang jenius yang bertarung di garis depan demi kehormatan sekte. Ia percaya pada sumpah, pada keadilan, dan pada langit yang mengawasi perbuatan manusia. Namun dengan pengabdian itu Lin Yuan malah mendapatkan pengkhianatan dari sekte dan akhirnya mati. Namun Lin Yuan tidak mati, dia kembali ke masa lalu. Dengan ingatan kehidupan sebelumnya, Lin Yuan menempuh jalan kultivasi yang kejam dan berdarah.

“Why do you keep looking at me like I’ve died before?” Elion’s voice trembles—half accusation, half fear. Cale freezes. He shouldn’t know. He shouldn’t remember. But he does. Every scream. Every last breath. Every timeline where Elion slipped through his hands. After a viral scandal destroys his career, Elion joins a reality dating show hoping to fix his reputation. The last thing he expects is a partner who knows his coffee order, his sleeping habits, his childhood lullaby—things he never shared on camera. And when time itself begins to glitch around him, Elion starts asking the question Cale has spent lifetimes trying to avoid: “Have we… met before?” Because Cale isn’t human. He’s a reaper who has rewound time again and again just to keep Elion alive—each reset costing him pieces of his memory. Now the countdown is almost over. One more death. One final rewind. One impossible choice: Save Elion… or stay with him as a mortal who remembers nothing. When a romance made for television turns into a battle against destiny, how far will a reaper go to protect the only soul he has ever chosen?
