Dai Ju sat at her desk, her hands gently tracing the lines on a map of Agarwood City's defenses.
Recently, the Great Jing Empire had been plunged into unprecedented turmoil. The invasion of Evil Spirits spread like a plague; two cities had already been reduced to ruins under their demonic claws, and countless lives had been lost.

Although the taint of an Evil Spirit's corruption was already buried within her, her dedication to her duty had never wavered.
She lowered her head slightly, a sliver of wishful thinking crossing her mind. 'Maybe I can hide this secret forever and continue to protect this city.'
Just as she was lost in thought, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door.
The door was then flung open with a loud BANG, and Gao Yimin appeared in the doorway.
Her face was a mask of terror and anxiety, as if some catastrophe was about to occur.
