Legend has it that the Abyss is a relic of an ancient dynasty, filled with countless opportunities and treasures, and hiding divine weapons famed throughout the world.
When the old dynasty fell, Yanzhi, a spirit born from it, fell into a long slumber alongside it.
Then a half-demon girl arrived and tearfully pleaded with Yanzhi. She claimed all she wanted was to survive as a human being, someone no one could violate.
Perhaps the girl looked too pitiful. Or perhaps the divine weapon, who seemed cold and heartless, had a heart softer than anyone else's. Yanzhi agreed to help her.
But the good times did not last. After Yanzhi left, the other divine weapons remaining in the Abyss began to stir, and the living beings throughout the Abyss wailed day and night.
Finally, one day, a huge hole appeared in the Abyss's barrier. From then on, all the divine weapons that had slept for ten thousand years entered the world.

Yanzhi never imagined that anyone could be so good to her, even if they had their own motives.
Perhaps humanity wasn't as wicked as people claimed.
Having never experienced danger or understood the greed in people's hearts, the divine weapon naturally chose to trust blindly.
Until she watched that person become crazed and obsessive, keeping watch by her side all day and refusing to let anyone get close to her.
Yanzhi had never known that clear eyes could become so wild, or that a compassionate heart could turn so cold and hard.
She wanted to live, so Yanzhi helped her escape the Abyss.
She wanted to cultivate, so Yanzhi cleansed her meridians.
She wanted fame, so Yanzhi helped her place in the competition between the three clans.
She wanted to become clan head, so Yanzhi stormed the Cangjie clan alone and seized the position for her.
She wanted to eliminate everything that threatened her, so the humans, demons, and ghosts went to war.
Now, looking back, Yanzhi seemed to have forgotten who she was at the beginning.
Only when she stood on the battlefield did Yanzhi realize that she might have been wrong.
The parched earth was stained red, the sky was drenched in blood, and the air was thick with smoke and the stench of blood.
Facing the companions she had once known in the Abyss, all she could do was raise her sword.
When this battle is over, she thought, she should return to the Abyss...
A note from the author: Yanzhi and Li Mian are not in love. They're friends!!! Their relationship mixes mutual interest with genuine affection!!! More than friends, less than lovers!! Like family and best friends!!!
A little heads-up: Yanzhi's sense of right and wrong is flawed, and everyone has character flaws. Yanzhi will do anything for those close to her. She seems cold on the outside, but is actually very indecisive.
I felt like the story still needed a romance, so I just wrote one in. There's no male lead, really, no male lead! You can ship her with whoever you like! Our Yanzhi can't choose, because everyone is wonderful and they all love her.
Theme: Love is the most precious thing in the world.
