In the long history of Daxia Kingdom, Gu Qingcheng was once a shining legend. She is the empress, strategizing in the court and controlling the fate of the country; at the same time, she is also the feared Lord of the Night in the world, completing various dangerous tasks with her strong martial arts and wisdom. However, a well-planned palace coup pushed her into an abyss of destruction. In the raging fire, everyone thought that her legend had ended, but they did not expect that she would be reborn as a girl in a modern remote village.
After rebirth, Gu Qingcheng found that he had a new identity and mission. The system gives her a task, and as long as she completes it, she can save her only close sister Gu Lingyin. She retained her martial arts skills and resourcefulness from her previous life, and was determined to start over with her guilt for her sister and her obsession to save her.
But the peaceful rural life hides troubles. Her parents, Lin and Gu Yuanshan, cared deeply about her, but the family's marriage contract put her in a new predicament. The young master of the Dong family disdained the marriage, and the original owner was bullied in the academy. And when she noticed the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke coming from the mountains behind, she realized that a greater danger was approaching.
The former empress has now become a country girl, and Gu Qingcheng stands at the crossroads of destiny. She has to find a balance between completing system tasks, saving her sister, and dealing with family engagements and rivers and lakes disputes. In this new world full of challenges, can she continue to write her own legend with her wisdom and courage?
