She is a rich second-generation cultivator. Her mother, a powerful female cultivator who ascended long ago, left her a secluded little mountain brimming with spiritual energy.
She is also exceptionally gifted, able to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within herself without even practicing cultivation.
The only pity is that when she was thirteen, her mother cut out her capacity for love, saying, "The Great Dao is heartless."

He has guarded her since shortly after she was born, like a brother and a father. He is a loyal servant and a dear friend. What? He's also...!
He is her younger brother, raised amid boundless affection, always getting whatever he wants. But more than anything, all he has ever wanted is the smile she gives to him alone.
He is the ruler of a realm, of noble blood, yet people have called him a "mongrel" for hundreds of years. One careless mistake cost him a century's worth of work, and he nearly perished completely.
But his appearance has shattered her peaceful life. Will she ever get to sleep, eat, and wait to ascend in peace again?!

Fleeing down the mountain, she looks back and finds herself utterly alone.
Rushing into the mortal world, she faces a long, bleak road full of hardships.
Look upon this world: men and women, lovesick fools and spurned lovers.
Taste every flavor of life: sweetness and bitterness, grudges and tangled affections.
Standing tall, beneath all the mottled shadows, she remains her clear, unassuming self.

Come and see this heartless female cultivator travel through the Three Realms.
Mother, you said the Great Dao is heartless. What, then, is the Great Dao?
