On the day when the holy level talent "Crimson Flame Phoenix" awakened, Yunzhuo looked at all living beings, thinking that the world was nothing but fireworks in the palm of his hand.
She is the only phoenix of the Yun family in a hundred years. She was born to stand on the nine heavens, looking down at the ants struggling to survive - such as the little talented orphan Lu Qingchuan of the frontier army, or the down-and-out noblewoman Su Mu who was charged with a crime.
Until she discovered that extreme talent comes with a cold price: the hotter the flame burns, the thinner the "human" emotions become.
And this world is far crueler than she imagined. In the darkness, evil magic that devours human nature spreads quietly; at the border, the "dark tide" of world-destroying disasters that have been recurring for three hundred years surges again; in the court, intrigues and calculations follow closely.
When the real storm comes, those who can stand side by side are not those who look up to her, but the "soil" that she once looked down on.
"My flames can burn mountains and rivers," Yunzhuo stretched out his hand behind him for the first time, his voice harsh, "But I need you to tell me where to light up."
This is a story about three girls——
One learns to bow his head, one learns to raise his head, and one learns to join hands.
From being bystanders of each other's lives, to being each other's armor and weakness.
From being aloof and relying on his talent, to carrying mountains and rivers on his shoulders with a mortal body.

"I once thought that strong people were destined to be lonely. It wasn't until I met you that I realized that true strength is to have a world you want to protect and someone you can trust."
Purpose: True strength does not lie in the aloofness given by talent, but in the responsibility given by bonds, and the courage to protect the people you love and the world.
