Online synopsis]
Yun Qinglan, the Celestial Maiden Venerable of the Immortal Realm, fell into a deadly trap laid by the two people closest to her: her family and the one she loved.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become a good-for-nothing in the lower realm who shared her name, and was bound to the Profound Heaven Path-Seeking System, which specialized in “trolley problems.”
Save a hundred people or slay one demon? The System always placed the most agonizing choices before her.
She thought it was an opportunity, a trial, until the System's interface began to bleed handwriting she knew all too well: her own from her previous life.
Behind the missions lay the secret of the ancient path to ascension, the truth about the corruption consuming the world, and a contingency she herself had put in place, spanning life, death, and reincarnation.
Her former Dao companion now sat upon the throne of the Celestial Emperor, transformed beyond recognition. Her former junior sister had become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, consumed by hatred. And the successor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, both friend and foe, carried within him the last vestige of clarity in the Heavenly Dao...
As the corrupted Heavenly Dao sought to sacrifice all creation and restart the cosmos,
As every scheme and sacrifice pointed toward one devastating end,
Yun Qinglan severed the bonds of causality and faced the System she had created and the sky riddled with cracks:
“The path I walked in my previous life was wrong. In this life...”
“I am the law. I am the balance.”
“Above the nine heavens, I alone am the Profound Sovereign.”
◆ A progression fantasy blended with a mystery, featuring a clever heroine with unwavering conviction
◆ The System is both a trap and a key; the villains have their reasons, and the final boss is the rules themselves
◆ Two powerful leads stand side by side; the male lead is a counterbalancing force, not a savior
◆ The heart of the story is how the heroine, faced with complex choices, finds a path that surpasses her previous life and belongs to her alone
