Surga yang Berdarah: Reinkarnasi Sang Kaisar Terbuang Di puncak Alam Sembilan Surga, Kaisar Langit Xue Feng pernah menjadi lambang keadilan—hingga pedang saudara-saudaranya sendiri menikam punggungnya. Dalam satu malam penuh darah dan api, surga yang harusnya suci runtuh; kepercayaan, persaudaraan, bahkan namanya sendiri dihapus dari sejarah. Sebelum napas terakhirnya padam, ia bersumpah: “Surga yang meneteskan darahku akan kembali menjerit dalam api dendam.” Namun kematian hanyalah gerbang baru. Arwah Xue Feng terperangkap di Alam Tiga Sunyi—dimensi terlarang tempat jiwa-jiwa pemberontak dibekukan selamanya—hingga kepingan Inti Jiwa yang tersebar memberinya kesempatan kedua. Ia bereinkarnasi sebagai Long Yichen, siluman naga hitam terbuang di dunia paling rendah, tanpa ingatan, tanpa kekuatan, hanya membawa luka emosional yang tak bisa dipadamkan. Dengan setiap fragmen Inti Jiwa yang ia kumpulkan kembali, Long Yichen mengingat pengkhianatan yang lebih keji: tujuh saudara kandungnya kini memegang tahta tujuh surga, sedangkan ibu kandungnya—yang tak pernah ia kenal—menjadi otak di balik rencana pemusnahannya. Menyelinap dari surga ke surga, ia harus memilih: apakah dia akan membalaskan dendam seribu kali lipat, ataukah menembus rahasia keberadaannya sendiri dan menyelamatkan surga yang kini dipenuhi darah? Perjalanan balas dendam ini bukan hanya tentang kekuasaan, melainkan tentang siapa yang berhak menentukan takdir langit. Karena mati adalah anugerah, tetapi tetap hidup dalam kenangan kebencian adalah kutuk yang harus dipecahkan… sebelum seluruh Alam Sembilan Surga benar-benar tenggelam dalam surga yang berdarah.

I was dying from my fear of heights, but my husband, Don Vincent, was busy with his assistant, savoring the latest coffee flown in from Hawaii that morning. "You're a grown woman, Bella. What's the big deal? You're stuck on a roof, figure it out." Then he hung up on me. I collapsed onto the hot tar of the roof, my body shaking uncontrollably before everything went black. It was two hours before building security found me. When I got home, I asked Vincent for a divorce. He rubbed his temples, his patience worn thin, looking at me as if I were a child throwing a tantrum. "Over a cup of coffee? I told you, the heights are all in your head. You’re perfectly safe now. Stop making a scene alright? What's this nonsense about a divorce? I have more important things to deal with. Calm yourself down." I stared at his back as he left, tears already streaming down my face. Something important? Did he really think I couldn't hear his assistant, Sophia, murmuring in the background? Did he think I didn't know he took her to the last family gathering? I had loved Vincent for three years. Everyone knew he was the center of my world. They all thought an orphan like me could never leave him. But now, all the love I had was eclipsed by a profound, soul-crushing exhaustion. I was done. I picked up my phone and dialed a number I hadn't touched in three long years. "Uncle, book me a flight to Seattle. I'm ready to leave Vincent."

I sponsored Emily Fagan from an underprivileged background just to help her get through school. She was good-looking but wasn't exactly the brightest. Despite my warning not to tamper with my things, she slipped stimulants into my water bottle. Thanks to her, I was accused of cheating in the swimming competition. Our team's score was nullified. As for me, I was banned from competing for life and kicked out of college. When I confronted her, she cried pitifully, "Julie, I just wanted you to win. I didn't know that'd happen." My boyfriend, Elijah Strauss, held her and comforted her. He even snapped at me, claiming, "Em had good intentions. Why are you giving her a hard time?" Crushed, I shut myself in at home. Feeling sorry, she and Elijah visited me and brought along some vodka as an apology. After I took ten shots, I asked her to buy some over-the-counter pain relievers for my splitting headache. Little did I know that she'd make me take a dangerous dose of Ibuprofen mixed with alcohol. The bleeding in my stomach was what killed me. Emily looked pitifully remorseful at the hospital. "I'm so sorry. I couldn't even tell what I shouldn't have given her…" During the police interrogation, my boyfriend gave false testimony to protect her. He accused me of taking my own life by mixing Ibuprofen and alcohol because I couldn't handle the mental stress from cheating in the competition. When I reopened my eyes, I found out that I was transported to the day before the competition.
