The clouds had illuminated the Celestial Heavens and made the immortal realm look more ethereal and celestial. The clouds were translucent and glowed against the pearl lights of the Heavens. It had made a light path to any palace in the Heavens.
Below the Heavens, was a mountain hut. The view from the hut was having rays of light shining down onto the home that Jin Guangming and Lei Mengxiang had shared together. Inside the hut it was all dusty and had not been touched since his lover had passed in that home, but has been touched with fleeting memories.
While Jin Guangming was on house arrest, unable to visit their home and take care of it, he had Zhao Xuan to watch the hut and make sure that no other mortal or immortal touch within ten miles of his home of memories with her.
Today is the day Jin Guangming would be lifted off his house arrest and allowed to go to the mortal realm. Initially the Jade Emperor and forbid him from going to the mortal realm, but even the Heavenly Empress was moved by his actions and pleaded for him to go down and look for her after he becomes a high immortal.
Jin Guangming's mood was definitely brighter than usual. The lights all over heavens had glisten brighter and the clouds are also glowing more than normal. He has waited 400 years to see Lei Mengxiang again, so in effect, he should be elated to be able to her again.
All the immortals have been touched by his story and even some female immortals began to beam over Jin Guangming and admire his love for a mortal. How romantic.
There is this one Immortal that was deeply touched by his action of love. Her name is Huang Xihua. She believes that Jin Guangming had moved on from his past lover and she can marry him. Sadly she had thought wrong.
Her reputation is that of a princess. Her father was a highly favored and trusted official of the original Emperor of the Heavens. She was known to be really beautiful as the Heavenly Empress.
Jin Guangming had never looked at any immortals ever since the death Lei Mengxiang. He couldn't listen to what she had wanted for him, it was for him to marry another immortal.
He was a stubborn but a loyal person when it comes to Lei Mengxiang. But now, Lei Mengxiang is now just a name of a woman that he had loved.

The reincarnation of Lei Mengxiang has been forced to live a hard life. She was punish to be reincarnated with pain and grief. Within the 400 years, she was reincarnated only once but died at a young age of a mere three years old.
This time, Jin Guangming is for sure that he would not let her die this time.
In a small manor named Liu manor, there was a little girl of the age of nine. She was the third miss of the Liu manor. Her name is
Liu Xia.
Her loving older sisters was married off to high ranking officials who were power hungry men who is also infatuated with women and drinking. The Liu family needed the money so her younger brother can marry a nice wife.
Both of her older sister had died either on the wedding day or a couple days after. The groom's side of the family had never gave a proper explanation of their deaths. The Liu family didn't even care. They just wanted the dowry money from the grooms.
Rumors says, they were too hard on the poor virgin girls. They were too rough and they had both died of internal injuries.
Poor innocent Liu Xia doesn't know that her fate is also played out the same as her older sisters. Her father plans to marry her off to the old third ranking official. He has over thirty wifes and has grandchildren the same age as Liu Xia.
Jin Guangming had read her fate and his blood boils. He couldn't just stand there and do nothing to help his lover! He planned to do go down to the mortal realm and take her away before she is ruined.
The God had travelled down to the forest that was near her manor. Liu Xia always goes around those forests and play around. However she always gets lost and her servants always comes out to find her.
Jin Guangming had disguised himself as a low scholar. He had a blue booklet in his hand to make him seem like he was a mortal. His immortal essence was a strong atmosphere, if you were an immortal you can sense his presence!
There was crowds of trees surrounding in one area. It's a very dense forest. No wonder a nine year old would get lost in this. The green leaves had barely covered the bright skies and only rays of sunlight had came through the branches of leaves.
The tiny nine year old was playing around with dirt and a single short branch of a willow tree. She was writing down her characters of her name.
刘霞.
When Jin Guangming had saw those two characters, he realized that the name had really suited her reincarnation. He had remembered that Lei Mengxiang had told him that her parents had abandoned her because when she was born, the skies were filled with red clouds. People of her village had thought it was ominous and left her by a river when she was nine years old, the same age as Liu Xia.
Jin Guangming had walked up to the petite girl and pretended as if he was lost. "Excuse me, young child. Do you know where the nearest inn is? I'm kinda lost."
Liu Xia tilted her head. "Big sister, I am also lost too! I am too stupid to know the way out of this forest."
Big sister? Did Liu Xia think that Jin Guangming was a woman?!
"Big- big sister?! Do I look like a woman?" Jin Guangming was truly stunned.
The nine year old blinked. She felt as if she didn't do anything wrong. She truly believed that Jin Guangming was a woman!
"Your skin is so fair and pale and with no blemishes. You have long black hair and long eyelashes. How could I not assume you were a woman?" Liu Xia attempt to compliment him.
The God had only scoffed in response.
"Big sister, your eyes are really gorgeous. Why is it that your eyes look so sad?" Liu Xia had looked deeply into Jin Guangming's eyes.
A stab in his heart had ached for Lei Mengxiang. He yearns for her.
