Nine years ago, during the Shao Mountain Rebellion, Gu Yuanmu "raised an army in rebellion" and "drove the former emperor to his death." In the end, he was defeated and killed. Overnight, the Gu family fell from the heights of power to the depths of ruin. Once showered with boundless favor, they were now traitors and criminals! The entire Gu clan was wiped out overnight. The entire clan? No one knew that amid the bloody storm that night, the one person who should never have survived did: Gu Qingmo, Gu Yuanmu's youngest daughter, the genius child of the Gu family, born into supreme honor and splendor! "You shouldn't have let me go that day. You should have killed me at once, an eight-year-old child who had seen every kind of evil in the world! But you people couldn't bring yourselves to kill me, leaving me to suffer day after day in a boundless hell! The stench, the flames, the blood, the slaughter of that night! They haunt my dreams every night! I crawled out of hell! Now that I'm back, I'll make sure not one of you gets to die in peace!"
