There is a village of ghosts called Lingxi, and a dark stone called Lijun.
A girl carrying the Lijun Dark Stone was born in the village of ghosts, where she met a beautiful boy of unknown origins.
She did not understand love, but the boy's image always lingered in her heart.
He led her through the realm of ghosts and protected her from harm, yet allowed others to slaughter her grandmother and kill her people.
After all that, she chose to die before him in the most brutal way possible.
A hundred years later, the Divine Venerable Cang Luo Fu Yan fell from grace and became a ghost, searching for one person's soul across a hundred lifetimes.
The princess of the Wei Sang clan, Wei Sang Yixi, reclaimed her throne and lived a life of luxury.
When they met again, she smiled as she looked into his shattered gaze.
“This time, I hope your path to immortality is smooth. But after that, don't ever come near me again.”
The Divine Venerable was once an untouchable being in the heavens. But his desire for the Lijun Dark Stone drew him down to the mortal realm, hoping to make the girl who carried it fall in love.
Yet he scorned all living beings and disdained the mortal realm, so he created only a spirit avatar to obtain the Lijun Dark Stone.
This is the story of a god's fall.
Content warnings:
1. There is a vicious female rival.
2. The novel contains a few mildly frightening scenes, but not many.
3. The male lead is unhinged and obsessive. Shi Jinglian, mentioned in the story, is a spirit avatar, not the male lead himself.
