Synopsis
In the heart of the bustling 20th-century world, where neon lights flicker and silence is rare, lived a girl who never quite belonged. Born with a beautiful face and a twisted heart, she was a puzzle no one could solve—a soul untouched by warmth, yet burning with strange desires. Pain fascinated her, both in others and herself. Love, to her, was never gentle. It was obsession. It was madness. It was possession. Her parents, unable to understand her terrifying smile when someone cried, or the way she hurt herself just to feel alive, locked her away in a place meant to cure the broken. But there was no cure for her. She wasn’t ill—she was different, and deep within her, something ancient stirred. One night, clutching a book about immortal cultivators, blood, and power, she drifted into sleep… and never woke up in that world again. When her eyes opened, the sky was no longer grey with smoke but vast and azure, the air thick with spiritual energy. Her body was no longer fragile and medicated, but strong, refined—and utterly unfamiliar. She had transmigrated into the world of cultivation, not as a lost soul, but with her body and mind intact. And with this awakening camewith this awakening came something more—memories. Memories of a life before even her modern world. A life where she had ruled as the Devil Empress, feared by gods, loved by no one, except the shadows that bled beneath her feet. In that ancient life, she had been the same—a creature of extremes. To love her was to be caged. To leave her was to die. Now, in this world of sects, swords, and spirit beasts, she is whole again. The Devil Empress has returned, not as a soul seeking revenge, but as a woman who remembers. And with her memories comes the hunger—for love, for power, for the twisted bliss of obsession. She does not seek to be a hero. She does not wish to save the world. She only wants one thing. To find the one she will love—completely, ruinously—and make them hers forever. Even if the heavens stand in her way. Even if she must slaughter gods and burn the realms. Because in love, as in life, she has only one rule: If I can’t have you, no one can.
