Divine Touch: The Academy’s Heretic Saintess
Once an immortal condemned to eternal punishment, Celeste, aka Celia, awakens inside the body of a disgraced apprentice, sharing the same name as Celia at Ravencrest Academy, where power is law and reputation decides survival. Weak, mocked, and surrounded by predators, she realizes she has been given a second life… but not her former strength.
Yet her hands remain dangerous.
With knowledge from her past life, she begins rebuilding her cultivation through a forbidden art of healing, using touch to correct meridian damage, cleanse poison, and stabilize broken cores. What begins as secret treatments for desperate students soon turns into whispers, scandals, and obsession. The academy’s strongest elites, nobles, knights, mages, and even professors begin lining up for her “Divine Touch,” each leaving changed in body and shaken in spirit.
But her gift is also her curse.
Her methods blur the line between medicine and temptation, drawing both male and female admirers into her orbit. As attraction turns into loyalty, and loyalty turns into possessiveness, she gains power not through brute force… but through influence.
Behind her rise, darker forces stir. The academy’s leaders notice. The empire watches. And somewhere beyond the walls, the heavens remember her name.
This time, she won’t be punished quietly.
