Cast aside in infancy by superstitious parents who branded her an unlucky curse, Stephanie grew up secluded on sacred peaks mastering Daoist mysticism under hermit Cyrus. Returning home at eighteen to neutralize a fatal clan curse, she encounters bitter contempt from her adopted sister Selena and an ungrateful brother.
