Summary
After a failed heavenly tribulation, Jiang Yao finds an unexpected refuge: the body of a deposed empress whose family has been slaughtered. The emperor has banished his entire harem to a ruined mountain temple, all for his new favorite. Revenge can wait. With abundant spiritual energy and a remarkable new body, Jiang Yao has cultivation to pursue—and twenty-eight former consorts who deserve a better future. As an immortal sect rises above the capital, imperial authority begins to look rather small. Meanwhile, the mysterious new empress may have concerns of her own, and Jiang Yao is about to find out what they are.
