The Ascension of Gu Jiu

Born a scorned concubine's daughter, Gu Jiu possesses what others can only dream of: a heaven-defying constitution, a mysterious spatial realm, and an ancient master's soul bound to her fate. But in a world where cultivation determines everything, nothing comes without a price. As her power grows, so does the web of conspiracy surrounding her—every breakthrough reveals another layer of deception, every ally might be a hidden enemy. Trapped on a chessboard designed by forces beyond mortal comprehension, Gu Jiu must outsmart fate itself to claim her rightful place among the heavens.
