Everyone thinks Xia Yining is a poor orphan with little talent who only got into the academy by clinging to powerful people. They assume her striking looks were the only reason a Saint took her as a disciple, and they envy her for it. Little do they know that Xia Yining comes from the most powerful family on the entire continent. If the truth got out, the whole continent would be thrown into turmoil.
Xia Yining’s mother is the heroine of a story about saving all living beings from catastrophe. Her father is a villain, a terrifying leader of the demonic cult who commits every kind of evil. Her older brother ascended the throne at the age of five and became a young ruler known for governing wisely. And Xia Yining is the child born in the original story’s bonus chapter, after the hero and heroine brought peace to the land and retired to the woods. Xia Yining grew up on Xia Ning Mountain, with little experience of the wider world. She’s always wanted to go out and see it for herself, only to discover that the whole continent seems to belong to her family. After a series of trials, she sets out to escape, only to find herself inheriting the family business instead.
A little scene:
A little boy who’s been beaten stares with watery eyes. “I’ll tell you a secret: my dad is a demon envoy of the Demonic Cult. You dared to hit me? You can’t handle what the Demonic Cult will do to you.”
The next day, the envoy brings the boy to Xia Yining and kneels with him. “The child doesn’t know any better. Please be magnanimous, Young Mistress.”
Young Mistress? The boy is forced to bow his head, his face a mix of shock and embarrassment.
A premium member of the Hall: “Just you wait! I’ll hire the Xufeng Hall to kill you!”
Xia Ning can’t hold back a laugh. “Sorry, my family runs the Xufeng Hall.” The member is so furious he nearly spits blood.
A certain genius: “If you’re so good, stop relying on your parents and face me fairly!”
Xia Ning shows her true strength, and everyone realizes that being a genius is merely the bare minimum for getting into her presence.
Keep it up! I'm really looking forward to the next episode. The premise is fresh and original. Are Su Junyi and the female lead going to be a couple?
