Seven centuries ago, under a cursed blood moon, the most powerful clans of the Xian Realm gathered to seal the Ninth Gate - a door that linked their world to the forgotten abyss. But the clan meant to guard it, the mysterious Heiyan Clan, betrayed them. The ritual collapsed in blood and fire, and the Heiyan name was wiped from history.
The world moved on.
But fate never forgets.
Now, 791 years later, a silver-haired boy named Rui Lin is raised in a quiet border sect with no memory of his past - only the strange mark on his chest, the dreams of fire, and the way the earth trembles when he's angry. He only wants to live a quiet life, pass his clan trials, and maybe understand why the world feels so... wrong.
But secrets buried under centuries refuse to sleep.
When Rui Lin is chosen to represent his sect in the Celestial Trials, he catches the attention of many: arrogant nobles, powerful cultivators, and most dangerously, Shen Wuyuan - the cold and brilliant heir of the Lei Clan, who's sworn to uphold the very justice that once destroyed Rui Lin's ancestors.
Enemies will rise. Ancient seals will crack.
And a forbidden bond will ignite between two young men from opposite destinies.
