Flowers Bloom Through All Four Seasons

In the Nine Provinces lies the Nether Abyss, where countless vengeful spirits and baleful forces gather. Those born under the ill-fated Xuanwei destiny are coffins in human form, able to contain the world's resentment and corruption.

Song Tangqian was born with a crimson demonic flower between her brows. After her parents died, she followed her elder brother to Mount Luofu. For ten years, she never fought for anything and treated everyone kindly, yet in the end she was abandoned by them all.

When the demonic flower reappeared between her brows, she was already filled with resentment and fury. Now branded an evil heretic, she was hunted by everyone.

Later, when the golden bodies of the Four True Gods came crashing down, Song Tangqian learned that the four deities worshipped by the world were nothing more than part of an absurd farce. By then, she had already become the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds, laughing all the while.

From a helpless young woman to the ruler of the Netherfolk, and then to the Summer Goddess who governs the season, one thing never changed: she always carried that jade-bone umbrella.

Its owner was Bai Xueji, one of the four great vengeful spirits of the Netherworld. A thousand years ago, at the Snow Burial Ridge, he tore out his own spirit bones and fashioned them into a soul-protecting umbrella to keep his beloved's soul from fading.

The world has a thousand mountains, and every one has turned its back on her. Only this mountain of snow stands steadfast, leaning toward her.
