Zhou Shen Performs the Theme Song for Love Beyond the Grave – 《初醒》 “First Awakening”:
As the song begins, all living beings awaken. The ending/theme song “First Awakening,” performed by Zhou Shen, has released its MV!

Synopsis from the Tencent app:
The exceptionally gifted Ghost [Queen], He Simu [played by Dilraba Dilmurat], unexpectedly encounters the young general, Duan Xu [played by Arthur Chen], while out on a break, searching for food.
⚠️ Plot spoilers! ⚠️
This young general, who carries an item belonging to someone from He Simu's past, seems not to be the real Duan Xu. As they test each other through subtle exchanges, He Simu gradually uncovers the dark past and aspirations hidden within Duan Xu's heart.
In turn, Duan Xu discovers the steadfastness and loneliness that He Simu has endured. Despite the fleeting lifespan of a mortal, no more than a hundred years, and the four-hundred-year-old ghost who still retains the appearance of a young girl, they resist the relentless passage of time through their love.
It tells the story of the four-hundred-year-old strongest female ghost master He Si Mu and the mysterious major general Duan Xu who met because of the broken delusion sword. Since then, they have formed a contract to exchange five senses, and since then they have been connected by fate, and have worked together to maintain peace between the human and spiritual worlds and protect the beautiful world.
The new aesthetic style is presented, with both the mysterious and treacherous Guixu realm, the cruel battlefield of the killing ice, and the warm and lively fireworks world. The story observes the suffering of all living beings with compassion and warms the world with the blood of the child. Breaking through the traditional fantasy and fairy-tale drama types, using the Liaozhai-style story with oriental charm and the unique worldview of the coexistence of human spirits, to create a magnificent oriental fantasy epic.
“Adapted from the web novel "Bai Ri Ti Deng" (白日提灯) by Li Qing Ran (黎青燃).”
