The day the Immortal and Demon Sovereigns joined forces to kill her, Jiang Rou's Frostfrost Sword shattered inch by inch, and her blood stained the Sea of Broken Souls. She thought she had finally found release, unaware that the sworn enemies who had fought for a thousand years both went mad after her death. Immortal Venerable Canglan bore the condemnation of the ages and tore the Supreme Bone from his own beloved disciple to remake her body. Demon Venerable Wuji expended half his life-bound demonic blood, then knelt for days beside the River of Forgetfulness, burning his soul to forge a lamp. Their cultivation fell from demigod to Great Ascension, and even the Heavenly Dao's barrier, which upheld the world, cracked as a result.
Reborn from the ashes, she had frost threaded through her black hair and wore a golden phoenix-feather robe. Her heart was cold as ice. The two once-mighty sovereigns, eyes reddened, hovered at her side, humbly trying to please her. All they got in return was her sword flicking open Canglan's gilded white robe, while she didn't so much as glance at the Abyssal Demon Sword. The more carefully they tread, the more she turned her sword on them, showing not a shred of mercy. Everyone feared her ruthless bloodlust. Only Tangdou, the orphan girl she had rescued from the ruins of Luoxia Village, could receive all her tenderness. A warm sugar cake and a gentle word were the only warmth she had left after dying once.
When the seven great sects joined forces to hunt her down and a traitor came to claim her life, she faced an entire army alone, sword in hand. The two men who had once looked down on all living beings stood firmly before her, one to either side, lowering every defense and willingly taking countless arrows through the heart, asking only that she not send them away.
In the end, the secrets of the Miao Sect's bloody battle and the clash between the two Supreme Bones came to light, along with the truth behind the Heart-Confusing Miasma's false accusations. All grudges were laid to rest, and the seven sects bowed in submission. When calamity from another world descended, she donned her golden phoenix-feather robe, ascended to the summit of the three realms, and commanded them all. The former Immortal and Demon Venerables, meanwhile, fought over the chance to serve as her personal guard.
In this life, love is but a passing cloud. Together, they will protect all living beings across the three realms.
