Storia
In a kingdom where gods and men coexist, an orphaned girl named Qingcheng meets the Goddess Manshen who curses her to lose every man she loves unless three impossible events occur: snow falls in spring, time moves backwards, and the dead come back to life. Years later, slave Kunlun aids General Guangming in battle, becoming his slave. When Guangming is wounded, Kunlun wears his armor and saves Princess Qingcheng from Duke Wuhuan's siege but kills the king instead. Qingcheng falls in love with Kunlun believing him to be Guangming. Snow Wolf rescues Kunlun and reminds him of his past where his family was killed by Wuhuan. Kunlun returns to fight for his love and confront Wuhuan.
