Heavenly Vault of the Dragon Empress
Jun Xīng was born to win.
In her first life, she was China’s most decorated female Olympic gymnast—an orphan who trained with ruthless discipline to honor the grandfather who raised her. She lived for gold medals, for national pride, and for legacy, pushing her body beyond human limits until even soldiers collapsed trying to keep pace. She died as she lived—on her way to compete—her final regret not being pain or death, but never having loved anyone.
She awakens in a second life as Long Xingnu, the unwanted daughter of a concubine in a brutal wuxia-style empire. Poisoned, abused, and nearly killed by her own family, she survives through secrecy, discipline, and an impossible gift: a Time–Space Dragon Spirit Root, World Origin Energy, and an interspatial treasure tattoo containing her former life’s gym. Training in isolation for eighteen years, she fuses Olympic gymnastics with cultivation, forging a combat style that defies both martial tradition and heaven itself.
Her fate collides with Leilong, the Dragon Emperor, when she saves his life—and accidentally binds their souls. Refusing to be owned by destiny, Jun Xīng runs, fights, and ultimately chooses him on her own terms. Together they dismantle her corrupt mortal family, rescue her beloved sister Long Mei, and challenge the authority of gods who view her as a resource rather than a person.
