The Divine Lord Hengxu was reborn as a mortal.
A thousand years after the gods fell.
The world had been turned upside down. The seas had changed beyond recognition.
Once the ruler of the Six Realms, who had wiped out the demon race in the blink of an eye, the Lord of the Nine Heavens became the chief consultant for the Special Affairs Investigation Division of Lingcheng's police force.
Though she had no magic powers, her insight and knowledge were still far beyond those of ordinary people.
From rat yaoguai stealing food to evil spirits eating people, she could handle it all with ease. At a glance, she could tell humans from ghosts, yaoguai from demons.
No one in the Six Realms, famous or otherwise, could escape her notice.
With her keen eyes that could see the secrets of fate, she solved case after major case.
She quickly made a name for herself and thrived.
But she had one quirk: she liked livestreaming fortune-telling. It wasn't because she needed the money. As her coworkers put it, she was a workaholic who couldn't sit still, always driving herself harder.

Qiantang, the weakest of flower spirits.
The least remarkable among the Lord of the Nine Heavens' many admirers.
A thousand years of hardship could not extinguish her resolve.
Once a demon spy intent on overturning the world, she did not hesitate to shatter her body and enter the cycle of reincarnation, finally finding a trace of her "former master."
She really wanted to be a mortal.
But who is the Divine Lord Hengxu now, up in the Nine Heavens?
What a joke all those years of lying low have become. Her fate is clearly one of bloodshed and chaos. How can she just lie flat?

How could a mere mortal dare to kill a god?
In the end, the tree wished to be still, but the wind would not stop. As a deity, she could not escape having things go against her wishes.

Reader's guide:
1. The heroine is a genuinely retired veteran who just wants to be an ordinary office worker, but people keep watching her.
2. The hero has spent a thousand years alone, growing psychologically warped. He's been lying low all this time, waiting for an answer.
3. Told in episodic arcs, with the main plot hidden beneath the surface.
4. This is not reincarnation. Her original body is revived, and if she dies, she's really gone.
