In my past life, my child was cut from my womb and my fortune stolen, leaving me to die as a stepping stone for others.
Reborn, I unlock the secret realm my mother left behind and glimpse a conspiracy that spans two lifetimes.
Lin Shu, who feeds off my blood; my faithless fiancé; and the mastermind pulling strings behind them all, hoping to climb to the top once more. A succession of trials and challenges now lies before me: the sect's inheritance examination, its selection trials, and an ancient secret realm sealed for a hundred years.
Does the shadowy hand controlling fate from the dark really think it can make me repeat the past?
Lin Nian stands within the secret realm, gripping the trump card her mother left her. A bone-chilling glint flashes in her eyes.
They call me a stepping stone of destiny, but I'll defy fate and fight my way to the top! Everything you've taken from me, I'll repay a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
