Qiu Yan could have become the next Dragon King, but she severed ties with her father for Li Xiuyuan and even gave up half of her soul pearl. Just when she thought her life was finally looking up, Li Xiuyuan used a soul-swapping spell by force for the sake of his childhood sweetheart, reducing her to a mortal body.
From then on, Qiu Yan embarked on the road to revenge. To restore her immortal body, she endured countless hardships to join a cultivation sect, but was ultimately driven away after facing rejection from everyone around her.
After overcoming one ordeal after another, she finally ascended to become an empress, personally taking her enemy's life and at last avenging herself.
