Shen Luoting, the legendary Heavenly Dao, keeps having the same dream. In it, white mist stretches in every direction and red threads twist together, but he can never see where they lead.
Until one day, when he faints again and finally sees the figure at the end.
The female cultivator is tall and slender. A red thread is looped around the fingers of her lowered right hand. She is Lin Qingfeng, the princess of Fenlun, who climbed the mountain to join Xiaoyao Sect as a mortal three years ago.
He becomes intrigued, only to discover that a handsome, gentle young man is always at her side.
The young man is Lin Qingfeng's attendant. They have lived together and gone everywhere together for three years, which means he has become the newcomer.
But their red threads are entwined. They are fated partners, so he is determined to claim Lin Qingfeng for himself.
When Lin Qingfeng returns from Kunlun to Xiaoyao Mountain, news that she and Shen Luoting have become cultivation partners fills the Mystic Spirit Mirror like snowflakes in a blizzard, impossible to avoid. Her heart skips a beat as she remembers the humble gentleman everyone sees at home.
Lin Qingfeng dismounts decisively and heads straight for the training grounds without a moment's hesitation.
Late at night, Lin Qingfeng pushes open the courtyard gate with a long staff in hand. The lights around her are dim. Shan Yijing stands in front of the house, idly playing with a fine, pale-gold chain. When he sees her return, his smile grows even gentler and more ominous.
"Princess, have you forgotten what I told you?"
What gentle young gentleman? He's a mad dog!

Back in the mortal world, people were always telling Lin Qingfeng, "Princess, you were born to serve the people." On Xiaoyao Mountain, they said the same thing: "Cultivators must take responsibility for the world. Saving all living things is our duty."
So she worked hard day after day, never daring to slack off for even a moment.
Yet hundreds of years later, she has slaughtered countless people. The evidence is irrefutable, and the crowd drags her to the Absolution Platform.
"Lin Qingfeng, you betrayed our sect. Do you plead guilty?"
Dark clouds press down overhead, and even the wind begins to howl in a frenzy.
On the Absolution Platform, symbol of justice, Lin Qingfeng's hair has turned completely white. Blooms of blood spread across her sky-blue robes, a shocking sight against the shrieking wind.
She still stands ramrod straight, screaming from the platform with bloodshot eyes.
"The people betrayed me, the world despises me, and I refuse to accept it!"
I refuse to accept it, so I'll turn against Xiaoyao!

Reader's guide:
1. A growth-and-leveling story, not a power fantasy or an invincible heroine story. It has both sweet and angsty moments, with a slight ensemble cast.
2. The setting is entirely author-invented. Please don't nitpick the details.
3. The male lead, Shan Yijing (Yusheng), is a yandere mad dog. The second male lead is a frail beauty. The two will fight over her in a love-triangle showdown.
