In the ancient Kingdom of Dian, true love cannot be fulfilled in a single lifetime. Only those who endure three lives of longing, loss, and unfinished devotion may finally remain together.
In their first life, he was her shadow — a bodyguard who loved her in silence, only to be treated as something she could command, use, and never truly choose. In their second life, he became a monk against his will, a noble family’s forgotten son buried beneath sacred vows and a secret too shameful to be spoken aloud. He tried to renounce the world, but not even the gods could take her from his heart.
A thousand years later, in the modern world, they meet again. He is now a shepherd boy on the grasslands, free as the wind. She is the carefully raised daughter of a powerful family, sent far from home to teach in the countryside. Neither of them remembers the blood, tears, and broken promises of their past lives — until familiar dreams begin to return.
He died for her once. He gave her up for her sake once. But in this third life, for the first time, she may finally learn how to love him back.
