The Death of the Divine Son

The Eight Great Clans received the Divine Son's blessing, carrying divine blood in their veins and serving as his guardians from generation to generation.

Yet beneath their glorious prosperity, shackles had long been fastened around the necks of every clan member.

Tianxue Chudai is the last surviving direct descendant of the Tianxue Clan.

At four years old, she witnessed her mother's brutal death. Her spiritual roots were grievously damaged and left half-crippled, and the world regarded her as a worthless failure.

Unable to draw in spiritual energy or cultivate, and lacking any formidable combat ability, she has only a damaged life-giving bloodline. It lets her sense all living things and rely on the power of plants and trees to survive.

Beneath the surface, Holy Capital is rife with danger: powerful ministers rise step by step, the clans dwindle day by day, an old unsolved assassination case lies buried in the dust, and one conspiracy after another quietly takes shape.

Some see her as a thorn in their side and want her dead;

A mysterious man in a golden mask encounters her on a rainy night. After a single meeting, they each begin investigating the other;

Friends stand by her, danger surrounds her, and every step is a trap.

The world says the Tianxue Clan was born to give everything for the Divine Son.

But Tianxue Chudai refuses to accept the fate laid out for her.

She stakes her life on entering the perilous Yinping Secret Realm, not to become anyone's tool, but to find a way to survive on her own terms and uncover the truth the Divine Son and the Eight Great Clans have buried for a thousand years.

Theme: I hope everyone who reads this story can, like the protagonist, save themselves from danger a thousand times over, and never give up on themselves, no matter what.
