Eight hundred years ago, Zhang Ruochen, the son of the Ming Emperor, was killed by his fiancée, Princess Chi Yao. Eight hundred years later, Zhang Ruochen is reborn, only to find that the woman who killed him has unified the Kunlun world, establishing the First Central Empire and calling herself the 'Empress Chi Yao'. Empress Chi Yao reigns supreme, immortal and eternally youthful. Zhang Ruochen, standing before the ancestral hall of the emperors, gazes at the statue of Empress Chi Yao, his heart consumed by a burning flame of hatred. He vows, "After thirteen years of cultivation, I will dare to send the Empress to the Yellow Springs."
