Maria had once ruled over mountains and skies. As the revered leader of the Azure Spirit Sect, her name was spoken with awe and reverence across the cultivation world. She stood at the peak of power, her sect thriving under her guidance, her sword feared by demons and immortals alike. But all her strength could not shield her from the blade of betrayal. The man she had loved and trusted, the friend she had once called brother, turned against her. Her sect was burned to ashes, her family slaughtered, and she herself was struck down beneath the heavens she once commanded.
She thought death was the end.
Yet when her eyes opened again, the familiar flow of spiritual energy was gone, replaced by a strange, fragile world unlike any she had known. The heavens were silent, the air void of qi. And before she could comprehend what had happened, she realized she was no longer Maria of the Azure Spirit Sect. She had been thrust into the pages of a story - Till the End Burns Out - and reborn in the body of Viviene, the infamous villainess fated to die hated and alone in a brutal, post-apocalyptic world.
But Viviene's fate was no longer hers to follow. Maria refused to let this second chance end in tragedy. She would carve out a new destiny - one that belonged to her and her alone.
And as she began to change Viviene's path, someone else noticed. Adrian - the male lead of the story, once destined to despise and destroy Viviene - found himself watching her with growing fascination. Her sharp words and hidden kindness, her iron will and quiet strength stirred something in him he did not expect. Against the flow of fate, Adrian's hatred slowly melted into reluctant respect... and something far deeper.
