➥ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 . . . Qingxia was raised as the daughter of the Imperial Executioner, the man responsible for carrying out the Emperor's death sentences. Her family had served this role for twelve generations, and with it came a terrible secret: they practiced the "Art of Final Judgment", a forbidden cultivation technique that absorbed the dying breath of the condemned, granting power over death itself.

When the Crown Prince murdered the Emperor and seized the throne, he ordered Qingxia's entire family executed to erase anyone who knew the truth-that he had forced her father to poison the Emperor during an execution ritual. Qingxia was the only survivor, saved by her father who used his own death to transfer the complete Art of Final Judgment into her body.

Now she's a wanted criminal, branded a traitor, hunted by imperial assassins and cultivator sects alike. But she carries within her the power to judge souls, see the sins of the living, and command the restless dead.

"She had asked her father once why it grew cold during executions. He said death arrives from the north, where winter sleeps even in summer."
