A Thousand-Year Journey Through Fated Bonds

Su Wang has died eight times.

In her first life, a sword pierced her heart. In her second, she died of poison. In her third, she was buried in a sea of flames. Each life brought a different death, but the people who killed her all pointed in the same direction.

With every death, the black bangle on her wrist lit up one tombstone, sealing away the power she awakened in her previous life. A sword heart that sees all, immunity to every poison, a body of heavenly-burning flame... Eight deaths, eight tombstones, eight powers.

She doesn't remember the names she had in her first eight lives. She only remembers that every time she drew her last breath, a sword had veered half an inch off course.

In her ninth life, she awakens at the outer sect of the Taixu Immortal Sect, a disciple at the lowest Qi Refining stage. Three tombstones on her black bangle are lit; five remain silent.

The person who killed her is inside the Immortal Sect. They wear an elder's robes, sit in an elder's seat, and wield an elder's authority.

Elder Qingxu wants her dead. The Enforcement Hall wants her dead. The forces behind her want her dead.

But this time, Su Wang doesn't want to die.

She wants to live long enough to light all eight tombstones. She wants to live long enough to find the person who made the sword veer half an inch off course every time. She wants to live long enough to figure out one thing:

Su Xi, Yuanji, Qiansui. What were the names she had in her first eight lives, and why did she have to die in each one?

The answer lies deep within the black bangle. There is only one way to unlock it.

Die one more time.

But in her ninth life, she simply doesn't want to die.
