“We are well aware that the relationship between us is not healthy. Our love is far from perfect. It’s messed up. Just like us.”

– Bing Shi & Mr. Jelly

After a painful separation, Bing Shi gets a once in a lifetime opportunity to get back together with the ‘love of her life’ under one condition. To get one of her wishes granted, she will have to travel to different worlds and finish all the assigned missions from the System HeadQuarters.

In each world, she will encounter the best species of men — men that are many times more influential than the Mr. Jelly from her previous life. Will she be able to resist the alpha men that could make any human fall to their knees?

Bing Shi is not sure if she will be able to finish all the missions, but she will surely stay loyal to her boyfriend until the very end.

No matter what it takes, she will be stronger than the bad things that have happened to her.

She will be stronger than the sadness that threatens to consume her.

She will be stronger than the darkness that tries to pull her down.

And, because of that, she will be able to keep moving forward and find a way to make life work for her......

Three thousand years ago, gods and Buddhas disappeared all over the sky, and the inheritance of practice was broken. It was not until the ancient civilization was destroyed that spiritual energy recovered. Ten thousand races took advantage of this to invade.

Five hundred years later, the human race gradually rose up and began to fight for control of the land of China, and counterattacked all races.

Three hundred years later, Fang Yi, the Lord of the Great Dao, slaughtered all clans, destroyed all the heavens, stepped out of the myriad realms, and fought against the Dao of Heaven.

In desperation, Fang Yi sacrificed blood to eight hundred small worlds, reversed time and space, and was reborn nineteen years old.

In this life, he wants to live a more relaxed life, perfect his Dao Xin, and conquer the Dao of Heaven again.
