She was once the fiercest female war god of the ancient world, wielding the divine power of blazing flames, undefeated and unstoppable.
But her strength made the gods fear her. Afraid she would threaten their standing, they joined forces to brand her a bringer of disaster and cast her out without mercy.
Unwilling to accept a destiny that demanded her sacrifice, she fled until she finally found refuge on Zhangwei Mountain, in the bitter cold of the far north. There she met Guiming.
Those hundred years were the only warmth she ever knew. Guiming silently protected her, letting her escape the pursuit of the Three Realms and find a brief moment of peace.
But fate could not be defied forever.
A great drought struck the human world, turning the land barren for a thousand miles. The gods and mortals joined forces, using so-called “righteousness” to shame her into returning and atoning for her sins.
They said the world would see rain only if she died.
They chained her to a towering sacrificial altar, where she endured ten days of torment. Flames consumed her, the scorching sun seared her bones, and she died in unimaginable agony.
Even in death, the gods did not spare her.
To ensure she could never return, they cruelly severed her head and limbs and scattered her remains across the Great Wilderness, where they would never be reunited.
Only her torso was left, bound fast to the cold sacrificial altar to endure millions of years of loneliness and humiliation.
Millions of years later, her fragmentary soul drifted through the Great Wilderness, watching her scattered remains, the Zhangwei Mountain she could never return to, and the one person who had ever given her warmth.
She had never lost a battle, yet she fell to the hearts of others. She escaped her pursuers, but not her fate. She had once been protected, yet in the end, not a bone of her remained intact.
When the remnant soul of her blazing spirit fell into the mortal world, she became an ordinary woman with no power to defend herself.
This time, her memories return. The blood debt will be repaid, and no one will escape!
