Beneath the glittering facade of the modern metropolis lies a parallel world called Xuanjing, where spiritual power reigns supreme and rival factions carve up the land. Men have held power for thousands of years, and the title of Emperor is the highest honor, reserved exclusively for men. She is the last descendant of Xuanjing's lost imperial bloodline, living an ordinary life in the city. But an unexpected surge of spiritual power awakens her dormant ancient imperial lineage, completely rewriting her fate.
At first, the factions of Xuanjing invade the city and dismiss her as an insignificant “wild-blood,” mocking her mixed spiritual power and insisting she will never amount to anything. A sect steward sees that she has no one to rely on and tries to seize the essence of her imperial bloodline, forcing her into servitude. Even the minor factions at the bottom of Xuanjing's hierarchy dare to torment her. But they have all miscalculated: once her imperial lineage awakens, it blazes like wildfire, unstoppable.
She crushes a provocateur's spiritual core with her bare hands, making the sect steward who looked down on her kneel and beg for mercy. She refines a rare source of spiritual energy and breaks through three levels in a single day, astonishing all of Xuanjing's lower ranks. She gathers the loyal and courageous who have fallen from favor and forms a faction that answers only to her, gradually swallowing up the territories of those who once bullied her.
There are no tangled romantic entanglements, only the thrill of crushing every obstacle in her path. From a desperate comeback in a city alley, to struggles for power within Xuanjing's sects, to confronting the old emperor's tyranny, she breaks the rules that have governed Xuanjing for thousands of years as a woman. Stepping over the corpses of countless strong opponents, she closes in on the throne of the “Female Emperor.” She will show all of Xuanjing that imperial power should never be defined by gender, and that she is the new emperor who will rule over all realms.
