Ten thousand years ago, Luo Qingli, the only empress of the human race, failed to overcome the divine tribulation. Her body split into six pieces, scattered across the world.
Ten thousand years later, Ye Qingyun, a good-for-nothing youth cast out by his family, finds an amnesiac girl in the wilderness.
Her white clothes are stained with blood. She remembers nothing, except his name.
He thinks he’s simply done a stranger a kind deed, but soon discovers that the girl who can’t even remember her own name holds enough power to shatter mountains and rivers.
An ancient jade slip, a memory that sets the heavens ablaze, a name sealed away for ten thousand years:
The Empress, Luo Qingli.
And the girl in his arms, who has to relearn how to drink water, is the embodiment of her torso.
But that’s not even the biggest headache Ye Qingyun has to deal with.
Princess Di Xi devises her schemes and makes her moves, overturning the world’s game of chess with a smile.
Frost Li, a master of talisman arts, is cold as ice. She has guarded her sect alone for a thousand years, waiting for someone who doesn’t exist.
The Valkyrie Chi Yan fought her way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. She wields blazing flames and trusts no one.
The Wind Whisperer, Miao, wanders through the void. Her footsteps have carried her to the ends of the earth, yet she cannot find a place to call home.
The elf saintess Qing Dai protects the Tree of Life and cares for all living things, but has forgotten to love herself.
When six women with wildly different personalities appear in Ye Qingyun’s life one by one, he discovers a fact that is both absurd and deadly:
They are all incarnations of the Empress.
And he has fallen in love with every one of them.
“So you want me to erase all six of them with my own hands to resurrect a woman who died ten thousand years ago?”
Faced with the schemes of Heaven’s Will and a choice of fate, Ye Qingyun chooses a third path.
