When Shangguan Xue wakes in a pool of blood, the world has already fallen into a state of near-collapse. The birthmark on her wrist is glowing: the mark of a fragment of Nuwa's sky-mending stone.
Memories surge back like a tide:
She is the reincarnation of the ancient deity Nuwa, but the power of reincarnation has sealed her strength away.
She is the sworn younger sister of Sword Saint Zhou Ping, who found her at the foot of Kunlun Mountain when she was twelve.
She is the seventh member of the Masked Squad, codename Peony: blooming without end, and reborn even in death.
And the secret she keeps deep in her heart is this: her eyes always follow the captain, the man in the silver-white mask, Wang Mian.
