[Note: The story focuses on the female lead, and the male lead has less screen time early on. Please don’t read if that bothers you.]
Shui Qing is the young mistress of the ancient divine realm and its ruler, one of the five true gods left behind by the ancient war. She causes trouble nonstop, from the Heavenly Emperor down to her fellow disciples and junior apprentices. There isn’t a single one she doesn’t dare mess with.
As one of the gods left over from the ancient war, seventeen-thousand-year-old Shui Qing is, in everyone’s eyes, a… very old child. And yet no one dares offend her.
Until one day, Jiuhua sent her a young disciple, claiming he was finding her a companion, when in reality he was using the boy to keep her in line! Fine, she wasn’t allowed to drink, but she wasn’t even allowed to flirt with girls or tease handsome young men. Where was the justice in that? Shui Qing’s three greatest pleasures in life were drinking, flirting with girls, and teasing handsome men. Her little disciple forcibly made her give up all three. Unable to take it any longer, Shui Qing decided to run away from home, but her little disciple caught her right outside the house and carried her back.
The male lead’s perspective: a substitute romance
The female lead’s perspective: love that grows with time
