What Gives a Little Ghost the Right to Rule the Balance of Heaven?

[Urban Superpowers + Decisive and Ruthless + Revenge]

My name is Gu Yan. I died at fifteen and should have become part of the Heavenly Dao, but through a twist of fate, I became a lonely ghost in the human world instead.

My closest friend and teacher, Wei Chou, was a lonely ghost too. But unlike me, he tried to defy fate. In the end, he became the pendant on my chest. He showed me the tragic truth that fate cannot be reversed, and made me a guide to the paths of destiny in the human world.

The city of Lanxin, which I protect, is full of hidden forces. It has been battered by storms since a century ago, and the Heavenly Dao's schemes reach every corner of the city.

The Masked Ones hide behind their masks, stirring up chaos through eight factions representing greed, wrath, cowardice, and more. Ancient relics buried for millennia lie in wait, while the struggle between those who follow Heaven and those who defy fate has never ceased.

I once thought the Heavenly Dao's cycle could never be broken. But when I unexpectedly arrived in the sixteenth year of the Republic, I was lost.

I could clearly see the predetermined fate of every person, yet I couldn't see the beginning of the catastrophe a century ago, nor my true place in the Heavenly Dao's game.

The Feng family's blood curse, the key of the Si family, and the seal inside the jade ruyi were now winding around my fingertips, carried along by the river of time.

I thought I was the one moving the pieces, the one who governed the balance between Heaven and the human world. But in this game laid out by the Heavenly Dao, I suddenly realized...

I might be an unforeseen variable that the Heavenly Dao had overlooked, but I was also its sharpest blade. I could see everyone's fate, yet I alone could not see my own ending.

The war between those who follow Heaven and those who defy fate flares anew, and sealed destinies are revealed one by one. As a lonely ghost, I will wield the power to govern Heaven's balance.

But should I follow the script written by the Heavenly Dao, or fight for the human world to claim the freedom of a life without fate?
