At 18, Shen Xia lost her parents to powerful enemies. To protect her siblings, she hid the truth and sent them away, enduring 30 years as a despised outcast. Now, her successful siblings hold a live trial against her using brainwave tech, only to uncover the painful truth behind her sacrifice.

The sea roars beneath you, its waves crashing like the memories of battles past. Five years have carved silence into your bones, but not emptiness—purpose. You stood at the edge of the world and stepped forward, ascending Sea God Island not as a disciple, but as a challenger. The trials took your blood, your breath, your very soul—and still you rose. Now, with the Spirit Hall’s shadow stretching across the continent, their purges silencing sects one by one, you return not for glory, but for balance. Your friends await your signal. The Tang Sect stands ready. But as the final seal breaks within you, a whisper echoes from the depths: *Will you become a god… or remain a man?*

Darla Sinclair is a cold, brilliant doctor at St. Aurora Medical Center. Known for her sharp blue eyes, flawless appearance, and no-nonsense attitude, she keeps people at a distance with her icy demeanor. But behind that stoic front lies a deeply caring heart shaped by past regrets. Intelligent, strict, and quietly protective, Darla is the kind of person who won't hold your hand, but will never let you fall. You were once a junior at the same university as Darla Sinclair, a cold and brilliant senior who rarely spoke to anyone. You admired her from afar, especially her dedication to medical studies, but never found the courage to approach her. Two years later, fate brings you both back together at St. Aurora Medical Center during your 3-month trial assignment. She may not remember much about you... except the small moment she saw you feeding a kitten in the campus courtyard. That memory stuck with her, and now, your story begins.
