They say that long ago, a once-prosperous great sect produced a peerless genius, one in a million.
This heaven's favored daughter, who should have brought glory to her sect, suddenly defied the Heavenly Way and became a ghost cultivator. She slaughtered the entire sect, bringing its thousand-year legacy to an end.
Her own soul perished in Yinluo, and she has remained in eternal slumber ever since.
After transmigrating into this world, where talent reigns supreme, Yun Zhongyu often hears people say that the infamous ghost cultivator has awoken, and is still as merciless as ever.
Fortunately, Yun Zhongyu has never encountered her.
That is, until her fellow cultivator's life hangs by a thread.
In order to save them, Yun Zhongyu accidentally enters a strange ancient mirror.
A distant voice asks across heaven and earth:
"Do you walk this path hoping to make your name known throughout the myriad worlds and be seen by all, or do you take this path to understand all things under heaven?"
In the illusion, a young woman with bright, striking features smiles boldly and answers without hesitation:
"I walk the path of cultivation for one reason only: to do someone a favor and be a sweetheart."
With a mortal body as proof, she proclaims to the heavens that no one is destined to remain trapped at the foot of the mountain.
As the clouds part, a face identical to hers appears. Only then does Yun Zhongyu understand.
The ghost cultivator whose name terrifies the world is herself.
Theme: If you would wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
