It has four divine realms, each governing a major kingdom, as well as four central kingdoms and eight smaller ones. So what if gods exist? So what if they have deceived everyone? She only wants to live a simple, peaceful life and never be an assassin again. But fate is cruel: the person she loves is brutally murdered. She swears to avenge them, breaks her vow, and makes the one who killed her beloved pay a terrible price. But that person tells her that her enemies include the gods. The gods are her true enemies! Why? Why?! Aren't the gods powerful? Why would they want the life of an ordinary mortal? Ji Shuiling is lost, not knowing where to find her enemies.

Along the way, they encounter all kinds of people and stories, and gain new companions. To find out what happens next, read on...
