At four years old, her parents were “killed in a gruesome accident.” Adopted by Prime Minister Xuanyuan, she had no idea she was entering an even deeper prison. She became one of the “Seven Star Death Soldiers,” spending sixteen years honing her blade in blood, all to serve the Xuanyuan family's political schemes.
She wielded her sword and killed without mercy, yet amid the bloodshed, she held on to the last shred of warmth for her Seven Star companions. But as the people who had lived and died beside her fell one after another, her faith shattered like broken jade. The Xuanyuan family had never intended for them to survive. The emperor's throne was soaked in the blood of the Seven Stars!
Fate wrote her into its script as a mere player, but she was determined to crush the pen!
Through the collapse, she carves out a path to survival from the abyss of political intrigue, using killing to end killing and strategy to break the deadlock.
She forges her own path amid the court's undercurrents and cleaves open a new world through the bloody storms of the martial world. On a lone journey with no romance, she remakes herself from the bones up and walks a path of defying fate that belongs to her alone!
