[Women's Liberation, Strong Female Lead + Breaking Off the Engagement and Humiliating Him + Upgrade Story + The Ex Wins Her Back + Independent Female Empress, Power Fantasy, with Some Angst Early On]
Ten years ago, as the old peak master lay dying, she placed a jade marriage token in Jiang Ke's hands and entrusted her with the last wishes to "look after Qing Zhu and restore the Bamboo Lineage."
For ten years, Jiang Ke worked tirelessly and gave everything she had, raising Lu Qing Zhu step by step to the seat of First Disciple and helping him advance smoothly on the immortal path. All she got in return was coldness and betrayal from her fiance.
In her grief and fury, Jiang Ke used an art that defied Heaven to forcibly sever the marriage bond imposed by the Heavenly Dao and end the engagement. But she suffered a backlash: her spiritual core shattered, and her future was ruined.
The once peerlessly beautiful immortal became a crippled outcast, mocked by all, overnight.
Her fiance found her a burden. Her sect abandoned her as if she were worthless, and her fellow disciples laughed at her for not knowing her place.
Everyone said she was finished.
But she wasn't.
Dragging her shattered spiritual core, she rose from the mud, forging her hatred into an edge. She swore to smash through the deadlock with her bare hands and seize a new fate!
At the sect tournament, one punch shook the mountains and rivers.
At the martial competition between the five sects, one sword brought down the prodigies.
Thousands bowed their heads, scrambling to kneel at her feet.
The sect leader personally came to invite her back to take charge.
Even the aloof immortal Lu Qing Zhu, who had once cast her aside as worthless, only realized after everything fell apart and every undertaking failed that Jiang Ke had long since become someone he could not bear to lose.
He searched for her like a madman, desperate to make amends and rekindle their relationship, only to discover in horror...
The cripple he once considered a burden had become a peerless female empress, renowned throughout the world and unmatched by anyone.
Jiang Ke stood above the nine heavens, gazing down at him with a cold smile.
"What stray dog is this? Keep your distance!"
