Parce que la fille de son premier amour avait été enfermée dans la voiture et avait succombé à un coup de chaleur, mon père, dans un accès de rage irrationnelle, m’a attachée et enfermée dans le coffre de la voiture. Ses yeux, dénués de toute pitié, se sont posés sur moi avec un dégoût palpable. « Je n’ai pas de fille aussi vile que toi », m’a-t-il lancé, « reste ici et paie le prix de ta faute ! » Je l’ai supplié de me pardonner, ma seule requête étant de pouvoir respirer l’air frais à nouveau.

Pendant des heures, puis des jours, mes appels désespérés se perdaient dans l’indifférence totale du monde extérieur, ne pouvant pas percer l’épaisse solitude de cet endroit. Le temps s’est étiré dans une lente torture, et ce n’est qu’au septième jour que mon père, enfin, s’est souvenu que, malgré tout, j’étais sa fille. Mais il ignorait alors que j’étais déjà morte, engloutie par l’obscurité de ce coffre, mon âme éteinte à jamais...

Tian Yun, ialah Kaisar langit yang paling kuat, punya segalanya—kekuatan, kehormatan, dan bahkan cinta dari Permaisuri Lian Xue. Atau, ya, setidaknya dia pikir begitu. Tapi ternyata, Lian Xue malah menikamnya dari belakang, diam-diam bersekongkol dengan Kaisar Iblis. Dalam sebuah pertempuran yang penuh tipu muslihat, Tian Yun tewas di tangan orang yang paling ia percaya. Alam semesta pun gempar, berduka atas kejatuhan sang penguasa. Tapi, bukannya benar-benar lenyap, Tian Yun malah bereinkarnasi di dunia fana, terjebak dalam tubuh seorang pemuda bernama Lin Feng yang baru saja mati karena dihianati saudaranya sendiri. Kebayang nggak, dari seorang Kaisar yang dulu serba bisa, sekarang harus hidup sebagai remaja biasa yang nggak punya apa-apa? Tapi Tian Yun, atau sekarang Lin Feng, nggak patah semangat. Dalam hatinya, ada tekad membara untuk membalas dendam, dan dia punya satu senjata yang nggak bisa diambil siapa pun darinya: pengetahuan soal kultivasi. Pelan-pelan, Lin Feng mulai merangkak naik lagi. Setiap kali dia latihan atau bertarung, ada kilasan-kilasan masa lalunya sebagai Kaisar yang terlintas—wajah Lian Xue, pertempuran terakhirnya, sampai rasa sakit yang dia pendam. Kadang dia berhenti sebentar, termenung, bertanya dalam hati, "Apa iya balas dendam ini bakal bikin semuanya lebih baik?" Tapi dia nggak mau terlalu lama larut dalam pikiran. Yang penting, dia harus bangkit lagi, lebih kuat dari sebelumnya, dan kali ini… nggak ada yang bisa menghalanginya. Perjalanan Lin Feng penuh tantangan, rahasia kelam mulai terungkap, dan ada musuh-musuh lama yang harus dihancurkan, termasuk Lian Xue dan Kaisar Iblis. Tapi di balik itu semua, dia juga mulai menemukan sesuatu yang baru—mungkin, makna hidup yang sebenarnya. Entahlah, tapi yang jelas, Lin Feng nggak akan berhenti sampai semua dendamnya terbalaskan.
