Nine Songs of the Primordial Beginning

The day Chu Jiuyue died, snow fell over Great Yan for three years. Regent Xie Xuanzhi arrived one step too late. After spending a night before her empty coffin, his hair turned white, and he became the capital’s most uncontrollable white-haired madman.

After fusing with the remnants of the Primordial Seal, she reads the land’s veins and the realm’s fortunes, driving the betrayers from her past life toward their doom, one step at a time.

In the regent’s manor, she habitually skims the three layers of froth from her teacup and refuses to take the first sip. The white-haired regent, a man who has killed countless people and is feared by all, suddenly turns red-eyed. His voice trembling, he blocks her carriage. “Your Highness...
