Ning Chen possesses the inborn Art of Stealing Fate, but every month on the fifteenth, he must fight off the peerlessly beautiful empress within him as she tries to take over his body.
To survive at the bottom of his sect, he keeps his head down and hides his true strength, using the Art of Stealing Fate to seize fortune and the Frostmourning Sword to cut down his enemies.
Everyone says his sword has shaken the Northern Lands, but none know that every time he steals fortune and snatches opportunity, he is locked in a life-or-death struggle with the empress inside him, who once ruled a divine kingdom.
Then, from beyond the Ninth Heaven, the shadow known as the Source-Seeking Hall descends, intent on killing this “usurper.”
Before her final extinction, the empress reveals a truth that overturns all of history: “The so-called gods are nothing but the first generation of those who stole the Dao.”
Ning Chen wipes divine blood from his sword and looks toward the heavens.
So the Heavenly Dao has no master.
Then he, the last man to steal fate, will rebuild it in the place where the gods fell
My own Heavenly Dao!
