Qing Yan lives at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, drinking its waters and eating simple meals. With no talent for cultivation, she spends her days cooped up in the library, studying her wooden puppets.
One day, she is knocked unconscious while out and about. When she wakes, she finds herself burdened with a grave crime and surrounded by enemies.
Accused of murdering an inner disciple, she enters the Mirror of Inquiring into the Heart to prove her innocence.
But the Mirror seems harmless only on the surface. The demon clan follows her inside, intent on killing her there.
From that day on, the good-for-nothing Qing Yan is no more.
The Mo school briefly flourished in history, only to vanish at the hands of the ignorant, as decreed by the Heavenly Dao.
The Great Master said, “Space is the compass, time the square.”
In a cultivation world, ascend through machinery!
Qing Ying wields an array of ingenious mechanisms, from ordinary puppets to the explosive Ashen Kite, and takes the Great Master in hand as she seeks the truth behind the Mo school’s destruction.
But then she discovers that countless eyes are watching her:
the many immortal sects, the Kunlun Mountain Sect.
The greatest cultivator in the world wants to take her as a disciple, while the common people revere her as the heir of the Mo school…
