"Chen Ruyao," the Alpha Empress hailed as the 'Blade of Heaven of Da Ling,' is compelled into a political marriage to uphold the stability of the Dragon Throne.
Her consort is none other than "Bai Yisheng," an Omega from a cursed lineage, who arrives accompanied by whispers of calamity and the lingering aura of death.
