Ji Yunxi in her previous life was dull-witted and constantly used by others. 　　In the end she was brutally killed by her closest sister; the Ji family—of Manchu descent—was all slaughtered. 　　One day she was reborn. 　　She wielded the Nianyun Sword, rigorously cultivated spiritual arts, reined in her brilliance, and hid her light to bide her time. 　　Along the way she tamed spirit beasts, mastered the Spirit-Taming Sword, and cut down powerful enemies. 　　Reborn into a new life, this time it was her turn to protect those around her. 　　Feng Xingzhi, the only prince of Southern Yan, peerlessly elegant, his cultivation talent among the very best. 　　He was physically frail, played dumb to hide his ferocity, and the world mocked him as useless. 　　Only she stood before him. 　　"You hide behind me; in this world and beyond, I will protect you." 　　He smiled leisurely, making mountains and rivers lose their color, lowered his brows and eyes, held her to his chest, and murmured in her ear. 　　"You protect the people of the world; I will protect you."
