Love Better Than Immortality

In a world where humans have achieved immortality through technology, Chunhua yearns for a more authentic experience of love. To pursue this, she willingly gives up her immortality and enters the 'Sky Thunder System', a virtual world. However, her journey is fraught with peril when she wakes up as the prime suspect in the murder of the Medical Saint.

Chunhua’s life had always been tangled with confusion, but nothing compared to the whirlwind she found herself in now. For years, she had believed that Shangguan Qiuyue was her sister. They had shared a bond that felt as close as blood, their past entwined in ways Chunhua couldn’t quite remember.

Qin Liufeng, having escaped his father's matchmaking attempts, becomes a key player in solving the mysterious death of the Medical Saint. Together with Xiao Bai, they reconstruct the crime scene and deduce that the Saint was ambushed by an acquaintance.

Xiao Bai, acting on Qin Liufeng's advice, sought a portrait of Hua Xiaolei to compare with Chunhua. To test her further, he invited Chunhua to a poetry meeting while placing her in the room of Miss Hua’s family. However, a rebellion erupted at Qianyue Cave, easily quashed by Shangguan Qiuyue.

In Luohai Town, five young martial artists Xiao Bai, Chunhua, Qin Liufeng, Feng Caicai, and Leng Ning gather for a day of rivalry and emotional turmoil. Chunhua, deeply jealous of the attention Feng Caicai gives Xiao Bai, publicly asserts her claim over him. At the dinner table, she makes her feelings clear, announcing to everyone that Xiao Bai is her male protagonist.

Chunhua, a figure surrounded by suspicion, became the subject of intense scrutiny after a poetry meeting where her words seemed to hint at dark secrets. Everyone grew suspicious, wondering if she was linked to malevolent forces.

Feng Caicai betrayed Chunhua by tying her up and handing her over to Feng Qianwei, who took the girl to Fu Lou. Unbeknownst to them, Shangguan Qiuyue had been following in disguise. During the kidnapping, Chunhua tried to use Qiuyue’s reputation as leverage to escape but was unaware that the follower was Qiuyue in disguise. Her words pleased Qiuyue, who was secretly satisfied by Chunhua's concern.

Xiao Bai had grown increasingly troubled by the mysterious behavior of Chunhua. Desperate to uncover the truth about her identity, he and Qin Liufeng decided to visit Hua Xiaolei's family in Yetan City during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Before leaving Qianyue Cave, Shangguan Qiuyue gave Chunhua an ice silkworm bead that could summon her whenever Chunhua recited the phrase, "When will the spring flowers and autumn moon end?" At the inn, Chunhua discovered from Xiao Bai that she wasn’t Hua Xiaolei, but had the mark of a scar from her childhood.

Shangguan Qiuyue, ever the enigmatic figure, threatened Chunhua with their past affair, using it as a tool to bend her to his will. He claimed their ice silkworm beads were connected her bead would never go out as long as his was still glowing.

Xiao Bai and Qin Liufeng, after investigating Shangguan Qiuyue's portrait, confirmed that the Hua Mansion was a fake. On their return, they found that Leng Ying and Fu Lou were fighting for the longevity fruit.

Chunhua was caught in an emotional whirlwind, torn between Xiao Bai's genuine affection and the oppressive expectations of Shangguan Qiuyue. While Xiao Bai had always been kind to her, urging her to accept the responsibilities of being his wife, Shangguan Qiuyue pushed her relentlessly, even resorting to coercion.

In the mourning hall, the truth about Xiao Yuan's past was publicly unveiled by his old friend, Li Jianling. Li Jianling, driven by a mix of jealousy and anger, shared the story of how both he and Xiao Yuan had been saved by Shangguan Hui in their youth.

Xiao Bai's world had always been one of order, built on his father's teachings of righteousness. The old leader Xiao, revered as a hero, was the pillar of Xiao Bai's life. But everything shattered when he learned that his father's rise to power was rooted in the betrayal of a demon girl.

Xiao Bai's confession to Chunhua, asking her to call him "husband" for life, should have been a dream come true, but Chunhua feels strangely indifferent. She thought love would be different, more magical, but now, she’s left questioning if what she’s experiencing is truly love.

Xiao Bai, deeply concerned for Chunhua’s safety, refuses to attend the Baidao banquet, choosing instead to take a walk with Qin Liufeng. They encounter a peddler who offers a broken jade bracelet and a note from Shangguan Qiuyue, stating that he will exchange the Fengming Knife for Chunhua.

After discovering that Feng Caicai had been poisoned by Shangguan Qiuyue's long-lost 'dandelion' poison, Chunhua felt an intense sense of urgency. She had heard Qiuyue mention vague connections to the auction before, and now, she suspected that only he could provide the antidote to save Feng Caicai. Despite her fear, Chunhua knew she couldn't sit idly by while someone's life hung in the balance.

Xiao Bai and Qin Liufeng, recalling the events at the auction of the immortal fruit, realized Mr. Shi was the key to the mysteries surrounding the medical saint’s death. Qin Liufeng had found a silver needle on the puppet at the auction, which led them to conclude that Mr. Shi’s involvement was crucial.

Shangguan Qiuyue, once the carefree leader of the evil cult, was now a man consumed by love for Chunhua. He knew she was leaving, but he couldn't bear to see her go. Rather than stopping her physically, he gave her the antidote to the dandelions and sent her away, wishing only for more time with her.

On the day of the wedding, Qin Liufeng poured his heart out to Leng Ning, but she rejected him, standing firmly between him and Feng Caicai. This moment of tension marked the beginning of a series of chaotic events.

Chunhua had been abducted to Qianyue Cave, her spirit broken by Qiuyue’s relentless pursuit to make her his own. Qiuyue, determined to take advantage of this moment, repeatedly told her that Xiao Bai was not right for her and that she should accept his advances.

Xiao Bai was deeply troubled by the antelope's inaction. Desperate to rescue it from the enigmatic Qianyue Cave, he tried and failed to locate the elusive entrance. With hope dwindling, Xiao Bai placed his trust in the antelope, unaware that Leng Ying had orchestrated a deadly plot.

Chunhua returns the Ice Silkworm Pearl to Qiuyue, pleading for her life. Seeing her sincerity, Qiuyue understands he cannot keep her heart and releases her, letting her go. Returning to Fengming Villa, Chunhua finds herself at odds with Xiao Bai over the matter of the antelope.

Shangguan Qiuyue had meticulously planned every detail. Leaving behind a note about 'kidnapping Chunhua' at Fengming Villa, she waited for the perfect moment to make her move. Meanwhile, Chunhua, torn between Xiao Bai and Qiuyue, shared her emotional confusion with Yousi at Legend Valley.
