After learning that she was a hopeless romantic insane person in her past life, Nan Xian spent the next afternoon in a daze, questioning the meaning of life.
Not only that, Diao Yu later told her that in her previous life, she had fallen deeply in love with He Mingxiao and vowed to marry no one but him. However, He Mingxiao was a cursed star reincarnated, destined to bring misfortune to his father, mother, and everything else. His life was full of hardships and his lifespan was short, making him even less fortunate than ordinary people. Yet, for his sake, she defied the laws of heaven, reversing fate and placing him in a position that did not belong to him, indirectly disrupting the karmic cycle of the four realms.
Therefore, not only did she not overcome her love tribulation, but she also incurred divine punishment, nearly losing her soul.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Diao Yu stepped forward and blocked one of the heavenly lightning bolts for her, thus saving her soul from dissipating.
Now, her soul fragments are scattered in the mortal world. With each fragment she collects, she will regain a portion of her spiritual power and memories. When all the soul fragments are collected, she will be able to return to her divine body and become Lady Red Fox once again.
Diao Yu's mission was to help her find the fragments of her soul so that she could return to her former self as soon as possible.
After learning her true identity from her past life, Nan Xian felt a very complicated feeling.
On the one hand, she has not fully recovered her memories of her past life. The red fox and "Ah Xian" that often appear in her dreams are more like a story related to her but not one she actually experienced. She has no real sense of identification with them and is unable to empathize with them.
At this moment, she is simply Nan Xian. She has loving and caring parents and brothers, thousands of fans who support her, a career she is passionate about, a rich social life, and so much that she is reluctant to give up... All of these belong to Nan Xian and are her most beautiful memories.
If she truly becomes "Lord Red Fox" or "Ah Xian" as Diao Yu said, then everything she possesses at this moment will become a thing of the past.
On the other hand, she understood that her duty was to protect the peace of the Chinese land, a right bestowed upon her by Heaven and also her obligation. In the thousand years since she left her "post," other guardian spirits have also fallen one after another, and the Chinese land has gradually declined. First, the demon and monster races rapidly grew stronger, then the four realms were in turmoil and war raged endlessly, and finally, the spiritual energy became increasingly scarce, and countless races perished.
If she doesn't shoulder this heavy responsibility, this land will completely lose hope, and China will face utter isolation and helplessness.
With spiritual energy depleted and the bridges connecting it to the four realms severed, the number of cultivators in the human world dwindled. The turbid energy relentlessly eroded this land, draining away the last bit of life force, leaving only a desolate and barren shell.
Are we really going to stand by and watch China's five thousand years of history turn to ashes?
Do we really want those achievements and merits that have shone brightly over the years to vanish into nothingness?
This is something no one wants to see, and Nan Xian is no exception.
She doesn't consider herself a compassionate or magnanimous person, but she can't bring herself to remain indifferent and stand by while knowing she can change everything.
After a thousand years of relaxation, the muscles and bones are finally about to move; the burdens that have been laid down for far too long are finally about to be shouldered again.
At the very least, one should have a clear conscience.
