Su Wan, a top modern history student, unexpectedly transmigrates into the role of Su Daji, the infamous beauty who brought a dynasty to ruin, only to discover that this Investiture of the Gods world is nothing like the history she knows. When Lady Nuwa secretly orders her to “throw the Shang dynasty into chaos,” Su Wan tears up the script without hesitation and vows to rewrite fate.
**She will:**
- Use modern knowledge to spark a technological revolution in the Shang dynasty, ushering in the Iron Age ahead of schedule
- Join forces with King Zhou, Di Xin, who has been reborn, combining his foresight with her knowledge of history
- Navigate the machinations of sages like Nuwa and Yuanshi Tianzun, carving out a way to survive the deadly Investiture of the Gods plot
- Establish history’s first “Cultivation Academy for Mortals” and build a force capable of defying fate
**In this subversive take on the traditional Investiture of the Gods story:**
- The tyrant King Zhou is actually someone reborn after nine cycles of reincarnation
- A shocking conspiracy lies behind Nuwa mending the sky
- Jiang Ziya’s list of names for the Investiture of the Gods conceals a mystery
- The conflict between the Jie and Chan sects has a hidden story of its own
When the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods finally arrives, Su Wan stands atop the Deer Terrace, holding the rewritten Investiture of the Gods list, and declares to the sages of all heaven: “This time, I will protect the Shang dynasty!”
**Highlights:**
1. A seamless blend of rigorous history and fantastical cultivation
2. Clever political maneuvering and court intrigue
3. Subversive character portrayals and plot developments
4. The collision of science and the supernatural, showcasing an unconventional cultivation civilization
