Before dying, Zifen gave Jin Mi an elixir that prevents her from loving, foreseeing a love tragedy in her first ten thousand years.

After being saved from the beast Qiongqi by Lord Puchi, Jin Mi learns that a high immortal of the Heavenly Realm might revive Rourou. Fire Immortal Xufeng, son of the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress, is a God of War with no ambition to become Emperor or compete with his brother Run Yu. During his Nirvana, Xufeng crashes into the Flower Realm's water mirror, and Jin Mi revives him with an elixir she cultivated for centuries. In return, she asks him to take her to the Heavenly Realm to restore her friend.
