As Before

She woke up by the well in Liujiaao, having lost an unforgettable period of time. The Anchor Jade in her arms recognized her as its master. Everyone called her "Anchor Master," but no one told her whether the Anchor Master was the foundation of the world or the source of destruction. Shen Jingheng, the cold-faced censor of the Department of Strange Cases, protected her all the way and said it was her "destiny"; Chu Qingyang, the senior sister from Qingxiao Mountain, came thousands of miles away, but her eyes were no longer as clear as before; the anchor guard in the black market handed her a key to the cellar; the saint in the deep palace gave her an ancient order with the word "anchor" engraved on it. She followed the vague traces of anchors and discovered that the people who were hunted, bought and sold, and called "others" were actually the descendants of the anchor protectors; the strange cases were meant to be suppressed, but in fact they were the imperial powers of all generations devoting all their power to protect the last anchor in the world; in the Broken Sword Diagram in the Secret Chamber, the person in the painting looked exactly like her; there were seven anchors in the underground of the royal capital, waiting for her to use her as a suppressor. And the woman who appeared repeatedly in her dreams stood on top of the ruins with a broken sword, and was called the Destroyer of Worlds. The person guarding the anchor was dying, and the seven anchor positions had been waiting for her for too long. Some wanted her to die, some wanted her to live, but no one asked her if she was willing. There has to be someone in this world who has to carry something for the world - but what if that "someone" is her?
