[Cold and Ruthless, with a Soft Side She Keeps Strictly in Check] x [Sunny and Easygoing, Carrying a Heavy Burden of Pessimism]
Fang Shiqi, the thousand-year-old Lord of Thousand Mountains in the Human Realm, has struggled to survive for twelve years. To gain the strength she needs to expose the person behind the scenes who wants her dead, she schemes and probes among the others when an immortal from the Xuan Sect comes to investigate a case in the mountains, hoping to use someone else to kill her enemy. Instead, someone latches onto her.
"Miss Xiang Rong, could you spare me a piece of land? Please."
Xiang Rong: Hah.
Like a dead tree floating upon a vast sea, anyone who draws near her will be swallowed by the depths. She struggles through ties of family, friendship, and love, tossed about in the game of fate. She thinks she is just one step away from changing her destiny and surviving, never realizing that every choice she makes to turn her fate around is part of fate's scheme to push her into the abyss.
The lofty status of the Divine Realm seems like a blessing, but is in truth a cage. When calamity strikes, who can escape unscathed?
The Human Realm, as picturesque as a poem, where warmth and cold intermingle; the Xuan Realm, where people worship strength and demand strict standards; the Divine Realm, far from worldly life and cruel and merciless; and beyond the Divine Realm, a place filled with fear and the unknown...
Someone shamelessly presses her: "Xiang Rong, have you given your tacit approval?"
If death is inevitable, why not be reckless for once?
May our souls encourage one another, and may our lives be long and free.
