Wings of the plum blossom
A reincarnation tale of lost time, forbidden love, and a bird who remembers it all.
In a world ruled by war and duty, Li Xian, a noble girl of sixteen, was never meant to wield power. Yet when soldiers bled and kingdoms fell, she stepped forward—not with a sword, but with healing hands, fierce courage, and a heart that defied fate.
Gifted in the healing arts and burdened by her family's ambition, Li Xian rose in the shadows of generals and emperors. With her brilliant blue macaw Sky always by her side, she tended to the wounded, saved lives with herbs and grit, and found love in the unlikeliest of places—Ren Xu, a quiet warrior with storm-gray eyes and a secret of his own.
But fate is cruel. On the battlefield where she gave everything, Li Xian died before her seventeenth spring, cradled by the wind, watched only by the macaw who never forgot her.
Sky waited. Years passed. Centuries turned. Still, he waited.
Now, in a bustling new era of silk-draped palaces and forgotten gods, a bold but guarded noblewoman named Ju Xian rebels against a future she didn’t choose. A clever street thief named Taotao flees a life of hunger and shadows. Neither knows the other. Yet dreams haunt them—fragments of war, whispers of love, and a strange connection to a caged bird with wise, sad eyes.
The past is awakening.
And with it, a second chance at the love that ended too soon.
Together, Ju Xian and Taotao must uncover who they once were—and what their bond could still become. But as destiny twists and memories return, they must ask:
Can love reborn survive a second goodbye?
