Wen Zhiwei, a once-in-a-century prodigy of the Wen family, was named the next clan leader at fifteen. Her future looked bright.
Then, in a single night, she glimpsed a chilling future in the ancient mirror Zhihuang:
Her clan members dead, her closest friend turning against her, and the family legacy she had devoted her life to protecting reduced to a stone that must be crushed beneath the feet of someone seeking the Dao.
And the one who set all this in motion was a “Child of Destiny,” loved by heaven and earth, to whom everything came easily.
When kindness becomes a power that ensnares the heart, and fate paves an easy road for her enemy,
Wen Zhiwei turns down an invitation to a secret realm and goes alone to the family’s most difficult branch settlement.
She breaks the deadlock at Lijiang, slays nightmares at Luofeng, and upholds the law at Qinghe.
She selects loyal and virtuous people from the mire, rekindles hope in the darkness, and joins forces with others amid intrigue. She does it all to carve out a sliver of hope for her tottering family before the tide of destiny gathers strength.
“The struggle for the Great Dao leaves no room to retreat.”
“I, Wen Zhiwei, will use this ‘world-anchoring’ backbone to protect everything I hold dear.”
“If fate stands in my way, then I’ll break the heavens!”
