In a world where owning a "Name" is a mandatory requirement for cultivation, the poor are born as identityless "trash," forced into lifelong slavery. Gu Chen, a youth whose striking features are as refined as a celestial painting, is forced to hide his true self under the degrading nickname, Ah Gou (The Dog), just to survive. However, a bloody incident in the forbidden zone of Mist Mountain leads to a fateful encounter with Bai Ze—the sharp-tongued remnant soul of an ancient god that takes residence within his body. Armed with primordial physical techniques that defy the laws of modern caste systems, Gu Chen begins his ascent from the very bottom of the food chain, shattering the arrogance of the elite cultivators with his bare hands. As his rise shakes the foundations of the world, a 10,000-year-old cosmic secret begins to fracture. This world is merely a celestial prison, and the past identity that was erased from history now demands absolute retribution.

"How much must I pay for one night with you?" Maximilian Thorne, the cold ruler lurking in the shadows of London's underworld, stared at the woman before him with a deadly, hungry gaze. To him, she was merely the latest luxury asset he needed to conquer and possess completely. Vivienne smiled faintly, sipping her bourbon with lethal composure. "One million dollars just for an introduction, Maximilian. But to destroy your life? That's free." Ten years ago, Vivienne was a nerdy girl shattered by cruel bullying in the school corridors, a tragedy triggered by Maximilian's arrogance. Now, she had been reborn. No longer as a trembling victim, but as the most sought-after femme fatale who held the dirty secrets of the world's elite. Trapped in a marriage agreement built on manipulation, Vivienne infiltrates the heart of Maximilian's empire to execute a revenge plan she has spent a decade crafting. Yet, amid the luxury and danger, she discovers a secret far darker than their shared past. When burning vengeance clashes with the bitter truths of the present, Vivienne must decide: will she destroy the man who once shattered her world, or admit that her greatest enemy is the only person who truly understands the wounds of her past?
