Su Zhaoyue awakens to discover that five years have passed. Once the direct disciple of Medicine King Valley, she has become a wicked woman accused of wiping out her entire sect and is about to be executed. On the execution platform, her former lover, Shen Yan, is convinced that she murdered his master, while the Holy Maiden, Yun Qingli, poses as a survivor and pressures her to confess. As the soul-slaying blade falls, a life-protecting seal causes cracks to appear in the supposed truth. In the Soul-Locking Prison, Su Zhaoyue discovers that her body was once occupied by the Black Lotus Soul-Seizing Seal, and that Yun Qingli is the mastermind who stole her life. Determined to clear her sect's name and reclaim her body, she joins forces with Lu Xun, a seemingly mad witness, and awakens Shen Yan's memories, long obscured by lies. Amid relentless pursuit and forbidden magic, she uncovers a conspiracy to steal another's life and takes back control of her destiny with her own hands.
