Su Qingsu, a young woman from an academy who grew up amid the misty rains of Jiangnan, becomes caught up in a conflict between immortals and demons far beyond anything she could have imagined after saving a mysterious cultivator named Xuan, who is gravely wounded. When their enemies come after them, Xuan dies protecting her, and the entire town where she lives is reduced to ashes.
Amid unbearable grief, the "Origin of Rules" sleeping within Su Qingsu awakens. She is no longer an ordinary person who needs to cultivate. She becomes an existence able to directly "see" and "command" the rules of Heaven and Earth. Taking on the mantle of "Heaven's Fate in a Plain Skirt," she sets out to uncover the truth and seek revenge.
But this path comes at a cruel price:
· The more she understands the world's rules, the faster her emotions as a "person" fade away.
· She gains invincible power, but also becomes a prisoner of the rules.
· The universe's highest rules regard her as an "anomaly," constantly rejecting and eroding her.
At the brink of having her emotions completely stripped away, she makes a startling choice: she deliberately "formats" herself, sealing away every memory and emotion belonging to "Su Qingsu." Yet, at the very last moment, the memory of Xuan creates an indelible ripple, entangling her in a causal connection with an existence in the future.
From then on, she becomes the true "Heaven's Fate in a Plain Skirt":
· She walks among the myriad heavens, watching civilizations rise and fall.
· Wherever her plain skirt goes, all paths fall silent.
· Eternally invincible, and eternally alone.
