Phoenix Behind a Veil.

After two decades apart, Zhao Wenli returns from London as a renowned psychologist, her heart full of hope and longing to reunite with the family she lost at the tender age of three. She remembers her parents only through a faded photograph they left her before she was taken away. She harbors no hatred—only a deep yearning for the love of parents she barely knew. But life, cruel and unpredictable, has other plans. Just days before her long-awaited reunion, Wenli’s family becomes the target of a devastating scandal. Framed for embezzlement and corruption by her father's closest friend’s son—Hua Wudi, an untouchable elite—Wenli lashes out in desperation, unknowingly threatening someone she could never defeat. Her efforts to survive the fallout lead her straight to tragedy. As her life slips away, a bitter whisper escapes her lips: "If I had known my fate, I would have stayed in London… even if it meant missing them forever." The heavens, moved by her final breath, grant her a second chance—but not the kind she hoped for. Wenli awakens in a strange world ruled by immortal cultivators and ancient power struggles. Cold wars brew. Hierarchies reign. And at the peak of it all stands the one man she wished never to meet again: Hua Wudi. The man who unknowingly caused her death in another life… is now the supreme ruler of this realm. Determined to stay far away from him, Wenli only wants to survive. But fate isn't done with her yet. Because sometimes, the heavens don’t answer your prayers—they twist them. Now, she must choose: create a new life, or fall once more into a living nightmare. The ball is in her court.
