[Beautiful, bold first love x volatile, bad-tempered widower]
In the apocalypse, monsters and evil spirits run rampant, and the human world has become a living hell.
The royal family built Fuguang City to hold back the evil. Millions of wanderers live outside its walls, and only the chosen are permitted inside.
Li Sha was the first woman to awaken her psychic powers. Concealing her identity, she entered the city, fought her way to strength, and became a great general who protected its people.
But later, the cowardly royals grew afraid of her, schemed to clip her wings, and even forced her to marry her nemesis and bear his child.
She died for her ideals and was betrayed in the flames of her wedding banquet. Then she was reborn in fire, with a new face and a new identity.
Five years later, monsters and evil spirits are more rampant than ever, and Fuguang City is in turmoil both inside and out.
When they see her return, the arrogant royals fall to their knees and beg her to reclaim the ideals she once fought for and save their worthless lives.

Xiao Ni was born into the royal family. His psychic powers were formidable, and everyone feared and envied him.
Yet he went mad three times in his life.
The first time was at seventeen, when he fell in love with his nemesis.
The second was on his wedding day, when he personally burned his bride to death.
The third was in the wilderness, surrounded by monsters and evil spirits, when he saw his dead wife.
(Actually, he went mad more than three times, and he'll go mad many, many more times...)
