I Lived to Five Hundred, and My Descendants Are Causing Trouble Again

[Everyone Dotes on Her + No Romance + Empress + Taoist Arts and the Supernatural + Sibling Bonds]

Empress Huai Suining cursed the heavens for their injustice and was punished with a curse: she would never age or die, but her descendants would never live past the age of twenty-five.

She withdrew into the Taoist path, and before she knew it, five hundred years had passed.

From empress to abbess.

Taking her chubby disciple along, she travels from place to place, resolving grudges and easing troubled hearts. Then one day she suddenly divines a most ominous fortune and rushes straight back to the capital…

The ancestors of the four great families in Jing City were trusted ministers of Huai Suining, the founding empress of the Huai Dynasty. Together, they guarded a secret: the empress was still alive!

Only a few family heads and heirs knew this secret.

It was only through the empress's protection that the four great families had been able to preserve their bloodlines and remain prosperous.

But when a family flourishes for too long, filth and sin take root.

First came the Fang family. They abused public resources for private gain and fought for power, only to be wiped out, their bloodline nearly extinguished.

Next came the Han family. Ignoring the empress's warnings, they secretly plundered ancient tombs and trafficked in cultural relics, bringing ruin upon the whole clan.

The Fei family soon followed in their footsteps, showing the first signs of decline…

Huai Suining's two younger half-siblings were cursed alongside her while fleeing.

Her second younger sister, Huai Zhi, is repeatedly reborn with her memories intact, only to die horribly each time.

Her third younger brother is immortal like her and was also granted extraordinary intelligence, yet he is forever used by others and denied his freedom.

The siblings can't stand each other, yet both are devoted older-sibling worshippers.

One is obvious about it, while the other is awkwardly reluctant to admit it.

They both see Huai Suining as the person dearest to them in the world!

(PS: This book has no romance, no romance, no romance. The setting is fictional, and the focus is on family bonds.)
