While hiking on Qilai Mountain, James encountered the ghost of Emily, who revealed that she had died in a mountain accident and was betrayed by her boyfriend Richard. Richard, seeking to claim Emily's inheritance, was unfaithful, attempted insurance fraud and arson, and even kidnapped Lily. In the end, Richard died when his car plunged into the sea along the coastal highway, allowing Emily to find peace. James and Lily then worked together to rebuild the garden of cassia and began a new life.

A love spanning a century, struggling with racial prejudice and family missions, seeking love and redemption. Ancient Times: The Beginning of Blood and Hatred In the distant past, 12-year-old Ji Xiangwan belonged to the Ji family, known for subduing demons and monsters. She saved a half-vampire boy named Emil from a sorcerer's pursuit in the mountains, and they developed a secret affection. However, Ji Xiangwan's mother, the Ji family's female leader, deemed Emil "not of our kind, his heart must be different," forcing her daughter to lead them to kill him. Ji Xiangwan tried to delay but was exposed by a silver token, leading Emil to mistakenly believe she had betrayed him. In the "Battle at Xiaotian Slope," he massacred 161 members of the Ji family (including her mother) and severely injured Ji Xiangwan before leaving. Ji Xiangwan succeeded her mother as the female leader, carrying a deep blood feud for the rest of her life. Despite softening towards Emil in three confrontations, she died at 22, clutching the bracelet (a gift from Emil), and transformed into a guardian spirit, still silently yearning for him. Emil, rejected by both sides due to his mixed blood, wandered alone for a hundred years, often sitting alone at Ji Xiangwan's grave, regretting his misunderstanding. Modern Times: Reincarnation and the Collapse of Beliefs Ji Xiangwan reincarnated as Ji Xincao, sent by her adoptive mother, Ji Shuixiang, to hunt down Emil. At this time, Emil ran an underground dance club in the city, appearing carefree but lonely, surviving as a human test subject. In their first clash, Ji Xincao was captured and forced into a month-long bet, but during cohabitation, she discovered Emil's pain: weakened by drug experiments, he insisted on living as a human and even gave up his vampire instincts for her. Ji Xincao accompanied Emil to a demon gathering, witnessing a "symbiotic agreement" between humans and vampires, shocked by her family's concealment of the truth. When the Ji family tracked them down, she used forbidden magic to protect Emil, publicly breaking ties with her family. Ji Shuixiang threatened to cut off relations but secretly accepted her choice. Ultimately, Ji Xincao broke the family's protective array, fleeing with Emil and renouncing her inheritance rights. Escape and the Final Chapter of Fate Using the soul-separation technique to mislead pursuers, they traveled south, aided by exorcist Nan Gong Jing to a European farm for temporary refuge. As Emil's health deteriorated, he still dreamed of settling in the mountains with Ji Xincao. Ji Xincao admitted "no regrets about her choice" and responded to his love with actions. The story concludes two years later with the image of the couple wandering — snowflakes falling as they sealed their love with a kiss, vowing to transcend life and death, forever together.
