(A slow-burn coming-of-age story with an ensemble cast, no pointless misunderstandings, and no rivalry between women. Important supporting characters will each get four or five chapters exploring their past.)
Xia Chuyan obtains an immortal sword and sets out on the path of cultivation. Along the way, she meets a child who transmigrates from another world and claims to be an empress, a madly obsessive and beautiful man, an ancient and mysterious deity, and becomes caught up in countless affairs between humans and demons, among other events.
Who angered the gods? Who sought to slay them? And who awakened them, plunging the world into terror?
After witnessing the darkness, can Xia Chuyan still remain true to herself?
