"Do not dismiss me on account of my age. Despite my appearance, I have lived through ten lifetimes!" proclaims the young one. I am the product of an affair between a war hero named Paeon and a princess who bore my burden before passing prematurely. Nine times I have perished tragically, but my discovery of my biological father has renewed my zest for life. Paeon's bravery and prowess are renowned throughout the continent, having even vanquished the demon king and the mightiest of holy knights. Yet despite his victory, he abandoned me to the cruelties of the royal court, which I intend to subvert with my own strength. I have spurned him, vowing to achieve supremacy and flee this despicable state. In the course of my preparations, I met the demon king's son Leo. Far from his father's conceit, he was locked away in captivity, and I tended to him covertly. "Asha, you must not become betrothed," he warned. "Whatever for?" I retorted. "Because I will always take responsibility for you." "What?!" "We spent the night together." What could this prince possibly mean? I am the result of a taboo relationship between a paragon and a princess. Meanwhile, a foreign prince is attempting to forge another forbidden attachment. Can the hapless princess with the aid of these two alter her destiny?

The 200,000 KM diameter artificial celestial body of APOSIMZ. Most of its volume is its core space, which is covered by a superstructural shell. Fifty centuries ago, the people who lost a war against the core lost their right to reside legitimately in APOSIMZ, and were left behind on the extremely cold surface. They face the spreading Frame disease. And aggressive automatons which appear frequently on the ruins level. Yet even so, somehow people survive.

Sun Xian was born under the ominous sign of “Yinghuo,” the Calamity Star. Her life was forever marked by tragedy— Her parents, manipulated by the mysterious power known as “Imperial Throne” (帝座), committed atrocities that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. At just twelve years old, Sun Xian was branded a threat to humanity and imprisoned by a secret organization known as The Dark Zone. There, she was subjected to horrific experiments— altering her body and mind, and awakening within her a terrifying power: “To slay rulers and destroy thrones.” Five years later, she uncovers the truth: The Dark Zone doesn’t protect peace. It profits from chaos, and it framed her family to cover its crimes— even driving her parents to suicide. Enraged, Sun Xian escapes. No longer the child who was caged, she becomes the executioner, bent on vengeance. In a simulated age of war and collapse, the girl once called a harbinger of doom will become the blade that severs corruption.
