The Great Yin Dynasty’s fortune is waning. The spiritual veins of the Nine Provinces have run dry, demons and monsters roam unchecked, and sects carve up the land.
In a ruined temple on the northern snowfields, the young Ye Fenge awakens in an ice coffin, wrapped in bloodstained clothes and stripped of all her memories.
A sword-shaped brand burns in her palm. Word of it sets every faction in motion, and the relentless pursuit leaves her life worth less than grass.
By chance, she gains a golden finger: the sword imprint in her palm can connect her to ancient sword arts and dreams of a burning imperial palace.
Each night, she enters her dreams and glimpses the secrets of the former dynasty, masters lost sword techniques, and awakens to the same abilities in reality.
Others can cultivate for ten years and still not match the insight she gains in a single dream. She comprehends the sword by a frigid pool, slays foes in the ghost market, and defies fate.
While others are still fighting over fragments of ancient manuals, she is already following clues from her dreams straight to the sword tomb at Kunlun Ruins.
The day her three destinies converge will be the day she takes up her sword and claims dominion over the world. Who says the daughter of a disgraced consort cannot become empress?
The Nine Provinces are on the brink of ruin. Only the sword in her hand can burn the heavens, prove the Dao, and restore order to the world!
