In her previous life, Jiang Zhaoxue was the young mistress of Yunlu City. She watched with her own eyes as the Black Dragon Demon Venerable, Mo Chenyuan, burned the entire city to the ground with a single blast of dragon fire.
When she opens her eyes again, she has become a little orphan girl taken in by the Dragon Abyss Demon Palace, and a Furnace of Ten Thousand Curses has appeared inside her.
Everyone in the Demon Palace insists she is the reincarnation of the founding dragon ancestor, kneeling before her and calling her "Little Ancestor."
As fate would have it, her greatest enemy, Mo Chenyuan, is the very Venerable who rules this palace.
With a cold expression, he takes her as his disciple and makes her serve medicine, copy curses, and clean his reverse scales.
Jiang Zhaoxue acts obedient and calls him Master, but secretly attempts to assassinate him every day.
She poisons him, but the toxin happens to suppress the foreign god's curse inside him. The Demon Palace elders weep with gratitude. "The Little Ancestor truly cares for the Venerable."
She steals a dragon-slaying nail and drives it into his reverse scales, only to accidentally dig out a corrupted curse for him. He gives her a cool glance. "Not bad. Keep it up tomorrow."
She sets up a killing array to trap him and kill him, but it fits perfectly with the palace-protecting array. The entire Demon Palace rejoices. "The Little Ancestor is repairing our formation!"
Every assassination attempt ends in failure, and every failure makes her prestige in the Demon Palace soar.
But when she sneaks into the underground palace, she sees three thousand life lamps suspended in the darkness. The main lamp of Yunlu is still burning.
A little girl's soul crawls out of the lamp and clutches her sleeve, saying, "That night... it wasn't the dragon that burned the city. It was the white-robed immortal who came first."
