The female lead, Ling Xuan, is a spiritual official of the Nether Realm, tasked with overseeing the demon god Tuluo as he destroys the world. Tired of destroying the world year after year, only for spiritual energy to revive, then dry up, and the world to be destroyed all over again, Tuluo joins forces with humanity to weaken the Heavenly Dao and set Ling Xuan up for a mortal trial. He hopes she will fall in sweet love, marry, and raise children. That is exactly what happens in her first life. But the Heavenly Dao turns back time and brings in a female character from another world to take over the glamorous, pampered Mary Sue life that should have belonged to the heroine.
After suffering the hardships of a poor family, the heroine dies in a car accident and awakens her memories. She then resumes her duties as a spiritual official, destroys the present world, resets the cycle, and revives the spiritual energy of the world. This is a story about a battle of wits between the human authorities and a spiritual official of the Nether Realm. The heroine eventually reaches the pinnacle of martial strength, overpowering the men in combat, while matching them in intelligence.
Bonus Scene.
After Ling Xuan goes on a killing spree, Jiang Xue is terrified.
Jiang Xue offers to give Gu Yan to Ling Xuan, but Ling Xuan only finds it ridiculous. "No matter how outstanding your fiance is, Miss Jiang, why would you think I would give up my right as a spiritual official of the Nether Realm to decide who lives and dies for the sake of a man who has already become someone else's plaything?"
In her panic, Jiang Xue blurts out, "You would, because that's what happened in your previous life. You and Gu Yan got together and married, and you gave up destroying the world..."
Ling Xuan senses something is amiss and searches Jiang Xue's memories. Half accusing, half furious, Ling Xuan says, "You saw it too. I came here in my physical body, not as a soul. My spiritual roots and meridians are still intact, but in this era, they're useless. Now I've lost nothing but a marriage, and this is what I've been reduced to.
If I listened to you and gave up my position and duties as a spiritual official, betrayed the demon god, and lived happily ever after with Gu Chen or someone else, what if another Miss Jiang came along? Wouldn't I lose everything all over again?
So I must return to an era where spiritual roots determine life and death, where I can stand undefeated no matter what. I will revive spiritual energy and return to the era where I have the power I deserve.
I refuse to hand all my wealth and status over to a man."
Jiang Xue is left speechless, with no idea how to respond.
Theme: Unless people in positions of power experience life from the bottom themselves, they can hardly empathize with the suffering of those beneath them.
