Lin Fu, the good-for-nothing from Qingzhou, has been stuck at the Qi-Attraction Realm for five years. The “Broken Jade Incident” has made him a laughingstock, and even his betrothal to the genius girl Su Qingyuan is on the verge of falling apart. No one knows that the flame-shaped mark in his palm is the key to the “Heaven-Burning Bloodline” left behind by his father.
In a desperate moment on the Cliff of Reflection, his bloodline awakens. Heaven-burning flames burn through his meridians, his mystic energy surges, and he breaks through four levels overnight. In a cave on the cliff, he finds a fragment of the Heaven-Burning Art. His power skyrockets, and he climbs the cliff with his bare hands, leaving everyone stunned. He even saves Su Qingyuan by chance, making her see him in a new light.
As Lin Fu rises to prominence, he is drawn into the conflicts of the Nine Domains. The mystery of his father's disappearance, the secrets hidden in his bloodline, and the ancient mysteries tied to the Heaven-Burning Art push him, along with the young woman in blue who gathers herbs, the mysterious woman in a purple robe from a sect, and a host of other beauties, into the heart of the storm.
From family feuds in Qingzhou to power struggles among sects across the domains, the name “good-for-nothing” gradually becomes a legend. When heaven-burning flames sweep across the Nine Domains, Lin Fu will join forces with those who understand him, overcome every hardship, and uncover the ultimate secret of his bloodline, making his name resound throughout the Nine Domains:
“I defy fate with heaven-burning flames. My path is mine to choose.”
