Five years ago, Jiang Qinghan’s cultivation was crippled, and she was cast out of her family. Pregnant, she disappeared into the rainy night in Jiangcheng.
Five years later, she returns with her four-year-old daughter in tow.
A master-level cultivator at the peak of her realm, backed by the Xuanmen Supreme System, she needs only ten minutes to flatten a branch of the Shadow Pavilion.
Her daughter, Jiang Nian, was born with spirit-tongue eyes. She can see through people, predict conspiracies, and make master-level cultivators kneel and tremble at just four years old.
“Mommy, that bad uncle is cursing you in his mind.”
“Mommy, three assassins are climbing down from the roof tonight.”
“Mommy, that fierce old man is trembling.”
Jiang Qinghan’s expression stays calm. “Let him tremble.”
The people who framed her back then beg for mercy one after another. The Shadow Pavilion, the Xuanmen branch, the Gu family of the capital... Her opponents grow stronger, and their cultivation realms grow higher.
Until someone asks who taught her.
She falls silent for a moment. “Someone you can’t afford to offend.”
A call comes from the capital, and a classified file is unsealed. The secret she has kept hidden for five years finally comes to light.
And the man who has never shown himself, standing behind her, is poised at the edge of the legendary realm, looking down over all of Xuanmen.
