Synopsis:

When Xue Yu was young, she held a noble status—Yedu’s cherished little princess. Later, on the Tribunal of the Six Realms, among countless death-row prisoners, she chose with a single glance the dying Song Heng, whose celestial bones had been completely removed.

No one could have imagined that the boy she casually pointed to—a youth with severed tendons, unable even to stand—would one day grit his teeth, swallow his blood, and with only a sword in hand, climb his way up step by step to become a marquis, a Dao sovereign, a sect master, and eventually ascend to the throne of the Celestial Realm.

Xue Yu always believed that even a heart of stone could be warmed with time. For thousands of years, she devoted herself to warming the stone that was Song Heng’s heart. But instead of earning even a shred of affection, she waited only to see him return in triumph, leading an army to raze Yedu to the ground and reclaim his long-suffering first love.

The day Song Heng returned in glory, the Celestial Palace was festooned with lights and joy. In the main hall, he removed his armor, gripped his blood-stained sword, and said to Xue Yu, “This was not my wish—it was a choice I had no other option but to make.”

That night, Xue Yu set herself ablaze, burning with such fierce agony that even her soul nearly shattered, dragging Song Heng with her into death.

But by some twist of fate, the two of them were sent back a thousand years into the past.

At that time, the young Song Heng was like a dying beast, his body covered in whip marks, lying half-dead on the Tribunal platform with only a single breath left in him.

This time, Xue Yu sat at the head of the tribunal. Her gaze passed over Song Heng without so much as a pause.

After a moment, she extended her slender, jade-like finger and pointed instead to another boy next to Song Heng—one who had just been punished as well, fierce and feral like a wolf cub. Her red lips parted as she said, “I want him.”

Mini Theater:

Su You was a ghost born of ultimate evil. Abandoned by his closest kin and scorned by the world, he was cursed and condemned—but he also possessed an unbreakable will and the most enviable talent. Famous from a young age, he eventually went astray, his hands stained with blood as he committed countless atrocities. In the end, his spiritual roots were severed, his cultivation abolished, and he was dragged before the Tribunal of the Six Realms.

He thought his life would end there. But on the Tribunal, among the six Daoist thrones, someone casually reached out a finger and pointed at him.

The one who saved him was the Crown Princess of Yedu—Xue Yu.

She ordered that his broken tendons be healed, gave him the best medicine, and personally taught him the art of strategy and power, molding him into her most trusted confidant.

From a universally reviled villain, Su You transformed into the widely admired and enigmatic Lord You.

Eventually, at the grand gathering of the Six Realms, Su You found himself clashing with the now equally renowned Song Heng.

On the dueling platform, Su You once again revealed his demonic side. Dragging his tattered wings behind him, exuding a violent aura, he slowly and deliberately crushed the finger bones Song Heng had extended toward Xue Yu. His eyes brimmed with darkness and a possessiveness so intense it was terrifying.
