Qingwei, a cultivator just half a step from becoming an Immortal Emperor, fails her tribulation and wakes up in 1986 as a lazy, two-hundred-jin wife in a southern mountain village.
Her husband joined the army on their wedding day. Three years later, news came that he had died in service. Her mother-in-law suffers from chronic rheumatism, and the two women are bullied mercilessly by the husband's elder brother's family. Their 820-yuan compensation payment was stolen by the elder brother, who serves as the village Party secretary.
The empress touches her barrel waist and looks at the drafty earthen walls. "I'll take this one."
Her Chaos Spirit-Plant Space is still there: a gurgling spirit spring, crops that ripen as soon as they're planted, and fruit that never rots after being picked. She drinks from the spirit spring to detox and lose weight. Two months later, the two-hundred-jin chubby sister-in-law has become a beauty with a slender waist and long legs.
She storms the brigade office and gets the compensation money back, has wild boars and black bears haul lumber from the mountains, builds the biggest house in the village, and brings her mistreated second aunt's family and her grandparents to live with her.
Just as life is finally flourishing, the man who supposedly died three years ago returns. He's 1.83 meters tall and so handsome he stops people in their tracks. Standing at the door of their new home, he stares at his wife, beautiful as if she stepped out of a painting, stunned.
The empress takes a bite of a spirit peach. "Well, look who's back from the dead!"
