Fate Chooses You: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The series revolves around Lu Qianqiao's efforts to preserve the bloodline of his Ghost Warrior Clan, where he must first break the curse and reincarnate as a human. For this chance of survival, he must undergo the five stages of changing his skin, flesh, bones, blood, and heart. Borrowing the identity of the corrupt official Lu Huai, he marries Xin Mei, an immortal cultivator with a Taoist body and a spiritual root despite being a jinx to her husband. After being dismembered, Qianqiao plans to fake his death and escape, never to see Mei again. Unexpectedly, this wife of his, who seems utterly harmless, actually goes to the capital with a blade alone to avenge him and redress his grievances. Mei's actions attract the pursuit of the immortal sect, and Qianqiao has no choice but to step in to help, even exposing his identity. Mei is shocked to learn she has been deceived and brandishes a blade at him, and the desperate Qianqiao erases her memory on a whim. However, the two meet again in Chongling Valley, and their fates are linked from then on. Through thrilling experiences involving the Immortal Pill, the Peerless Society, and the Golden Glow Sect, the two mature and grow together.
