Jiang Ruxian was, without a doubt, a terrifying prodigy, the likes of which the world had never seen.
Her talent and temperament alike had reached a shocking, unprecedented level—enough to make one's skin crawl.
Over a decade ago, his wife, Li Qingshu, had made the ruthless decision to strike Jiang Ruxian down and carve out her Seven-Aperture Exquisite Immortal Heart.

Jiang Lintian had always lamented afterward that his moment of compassion—his failure to eliminate the threat completely—was what allowed Jiang Ruxian to survive.
And because of that, Jiang Ruxian later seized an opportunity when they were away to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion and run a sword through Jiang Lan's heart.
Although Jiang Lan was saved, his personality changed drastically, and he chose to give in to decadence.
