Alongside a handful of her clanmates, Wen Rei's (温黎) life was saved by the Yiling Patriarch at Qiongqi Path, and they were taken back to the Burial Mounds under his protection. Thirteen years pass after the ravaging war of the Sunshot Campaign, and the demise of Wei Wuxian still haunts the few surviving members of the Qishan Wen branch family.
Wen Rei returns to the Burial Mounds five years after the death of her guardian, hell-bent on using Demonic Cultivation so his legacy doesn't fade, and is thrown into the turmoil of what it truly means to wield such a monstrous Cultivation. Years pass and the once timid girl is known as the Yiling Matriarch, wielding power second only to Wei Ying, and she finally has the chance to exact revenge upon the Clans.
The resurrection of the Patriarch throws a spanner in her plans, but who's to say the truth won't come out on its own?
