In the ancient war, a cataclysm overturned the Source Domain Realm.
Li Manshi, who once stood above all living beings and protected them all, gave her life to avert disaster and save the world.
When the battle ended, her essence, fate, cultivation, and memories of countless ages shattered completely, scattering across the eight directions and four seas, transformed into nine remnants of the Covenant of Origin.
With the nine remnants incomplete, her past unrecoverable and her divine power gone.
After a thousand years of reincarnation, stripped of all her glory, she is reborn as an ordinary orphan in the mortal world: Li Manshi.
In this life, she is timid and protective of her life, greedy for money and fond of slacking off. She spends her days shirking work to stay alive and is best at bluffing her teammates and quietly muddling through.
Having lost all memory of her past, she only wants to live an ordinary life in peace.
But fate is rooted in her bones, and there is nowhere to run.
A mysterious binding of a lifeblood oath ties the ancient spirit beast Bai Yu to her. The enigmatic innkeeper Ji Jingfu hides secrets of heaven's will, silently watching her movements. Blood-red nightmares repeat every night, while her past has been completely erased from the world's memory. Layers of mist envelop her.
Her origins are a blank. No one in the world remembers the Li family, and no one knows Zhang Qiuzhuo.
Everyone takes her for an unremarkable commoner, an ordinary mortal.
Only fate itself reminds her: you were meant to stand above all others.
To reclaim her lost memories, recover her scattered cultivation, and uncover the truth behind the ancient calamity,
she has only one choice: travel across the mountains and rivers to find all nine remnants of the Covenant of Origin.
The road ahead is long, and the mists are thick.
Li Manshi presses onward, completing the nine covenants, retracing her past, and breaking free of fate.
In this life, she defies the world to find her way, and personally reclaims her whole self.
