Everyone in the city called Su Xingyao a harbinger of disaster, blaming her for every plague and drought. The day she was bound to the altar, she smiled and summoned heavenly lightning to split open the gates of heaven. Amid the dazzling lightning, Xie Yunci, a divine envoy from the celestial realm, watched coldly. Yet when heavenly fire burned her, he instinctively stepped in to take the blow. Beyond the gates of heaven lay the truth behind the divine clan's rebellion ten thousand years ago: she was no harbinger of disaster, but the Heaven Emperor's sealed Child of Destiny. When her former sister, Liu Zhaoxue, knelt before her to save her own life, when the general's son, Meng Pojun, severed his own arm for her, and when the mad beggar Shen Tu revealed his true form as an ancient Thunder God, Su Xingyao finally understood: the person who deserved to die most in this world had never been her.
