The Heavenly Derivation cracks, the Cangxu lies cold, prejudice forges hatred, and fate binds people.
She is Shen Qingyuan, a condemned woman with no memories, a gentle glimmer born amid the yellow sands of Cangxu.
She is also Shen Zhaohua, the eldest princess, a savior born in bloodshed amid a web of political schemes.
She encounters two bonds ordained by fate:
Xie Wuwang, the Asura of Cangxu, is covered in darkness, yet gives only her his favor and salvation. In the end, he sacrifices himself for the Dao, saving the world.
Xiao Che, the War God of the Celestial Clan, is rigid and proper, yet breaks the rules and loses himself only for her. In the end, he watches over her for the rest of his life, spending the years left to him in regret.
Three years without her memories: tenderness was false, but fate was real.
When her memories return, love and hatred become her trial, and righteousness her destination.
A hundred years of hatred demands one sacrifice; peace across the Nine Provinces demands one person's loneliness; undying devotion demands one person to wait and watch.
Theme: A tale of human nature told through fate, reconciliation told through prejudice, and great love told through sacrifice. In the midst of ethnic hatred and struggles for imperial power, a heroine journeys from "living for herself" to "living for the greater good," ultimately trading her own loneliness for peace across the world.
