Chapter 1: Rebirth in Flame
Flames roared. The scent of scorched blood filled Lin Moyan's nose. She couldn't move—her body chained, her meridians shattered, her spiritual core shattered like broken porcelain.

She awoke gasping in a dilapidated courtyard, her limbs weak, body bruised, but her mind sharp.

"Finally awakened… Master."
