With a demonic tide on the horizon, the Immortal Realm and Shangqing Sword Manor used the bloodline that suppresses demons as a hostage, framing Wen Ying as a jade thief and demonic cultivator, then impaling her in an icy realm for three hundred years. Reborn with a wisp of pure air from her tomb, she pulls out the Soul-Locking Nail and clears her name in the great hall. She leaves behind the Wen family's cold indifference and the humiliation of a broken engagement, then joins the Cloud Mountain sect in the Southern Territory as a lowly outer disciple. Along the way, she meets A Ruo, a fiery, fiercely protective young woman, and they travel together. Wen Ying sees through the old schemes and awakens her bloodline, slowly establishing a foothold amid the mud. Yan Wucuo, the head of the sword sect, protects her from a distance of three paces, guarding her without a word. They go from testing and tugging at each other to entrusting their lives to one another. As her origins come to light, she learns that she is a descendant of the Tao clan, who sacrificed themselves to suppress the demons three hundred years ago. Buried beneath the demonic tide is the wrongful conviction of the entire Tao clan, a truth that was rewritten. The day the truth comes out is also the day the demonic tide reaches the gates. She and Yan Wucuo fight side by side into the long river of time, enduring bloody battles and uncovering the old crime of the Immortal Realm using the demonic tide to crush the demon-suppressing bloodline. The fate of that bloodline, to burn itself as fuel, is about to come true. In the end, she sacrifices herself to the Dao, giving the human world a spring that refuses to fade, and giving him the chance to finish speaking the two words on the tip of his sword.
