She was destined to hang high above heaven and earth like the bright moon.
When she was seven, her mother left without a single word. Born without a spiritual root, she was met with disdain throughout her clan. The elders mistreated her, her peers humiliated her, and day after day she endured torment and cruelty. She ate scraps and lived in a cold, desolate courtyard, constantly beaten, mocked, and scorned, living a life as insignificant as dust.
But she refused to accept her fate. She fought with all her might to claw her way out of the mire and carve out a path of her own.
Top-tier alchemists are few and far between on the Desolate Cloud Continent, rarely seen in the world.
Yet she is one of the continent’s rare imperial-grade alchemists, unrivaled in the art of alchemy.
At home, she conceals her brilliance and obeys in all things. Outside, she is both the immortal lord’s personal disciple and Bai Yue, a top-tier alchemist who stands as an equal to the Four Great Alchemy Grandmasters.
She has always known exactly what she wants: first, to find the brocade box her mother left behind and uncover the truth about her disappearance; second, to settle old scores with everyone who ever bullied her.
But before she can finish the road ahead, a marriage agreement inexplicably lands in her lap, leaving her with a fiancé out of nowhere.
Wasn’t this supposed to be an arrangement where each got what they wanted?
