In a world where morality has collapsed and the strong prey on the weak, the weak are the strong's nourishment, and kindness is a long-forgotten virtue. Lin Xiaoyue, an outsider who accidentally transmigrated into a book, only wants to keep the run-down restaurant her parents left her. With a few business ideas ahead of their time, she struggles to survive in this dark world. Her ill-timed kindness is like a tiny candle flame in an endless night, wavering but stubborn.

Then she finds Mo Qingli, gravely wounded and on the brink of death, in the back courtyard.

Once a Celestial Realm powerhouse who fell from the heavens, the Devouring Heaven Empress proved the Dao through consumption. She is the embodiment of the abyss, the very incarnation of the end of all things. She sees all living beings as ants and food, cannot understand the light, and wants to crush and devour everything in this world, including the one light that makes her feel both warmth and pain. “Your soul is quite special,” she whispers in Lin Xiaoyue's ear, her words as bloody and tender as a lover's. “This Empress will savor it slowly.”

The sunlight never meant to embrace the abyss, yet the two become each other's only housemates. Lin Xiaoyue runs her Hope Inn and lays down the rule “No fighting inside the establishment,” trying to bring a little order to the chaos. Meanwhile, Mo Qingli licks her wounds in the shadows and, with her deranged nature, becomes the most terrifying enforcer of that rule.

As the inn's lights gradually reach from the Human Realm to the Spirit Realm, and finally shine toward the Celestial Realm, this is a story about stubbornly blooming a flower in the darkest soil. It is also an epic about how a madwoman is tamed by a ray of light and willingly guards an entire garden for her sake.
