Fang Zhiyu is a genius cultivator and a talisman specialist rarely seen even once in a thousand years. She transmigrates into the body of an unpopular concubine-born daughter in an earl’s manor.
The moment she opens her eyes, her whole family forces her to fulfill her legitimate elder sister’s marriage contract and enter a ghost marriage with the great general Yi Shiming, whose body was never found.
A delicate, green-tea legitimate elder sister, a hypocritical and snobbish childhood sweetheart, an overbearing and cold-hearted princess mother-in-law...
Facing a catastrophe from the start, Fang Zhiyu opens with a thunder talisman, blasting the lot of them into utter confusion.
Fang Zhiyu: Nobody gets in the way of my cultivation!
She has no time to argue with these troublemakers. With her thoughts fixed entirely on cultivation, Fang Zhiyu sets off north under the pretense of praying for her deceased husband, heading straight for the Daoist temple she has long dreamed of visiting.
But the more she cultivates, the more she realizes everyone around her thinks she’s a living immortal.
All she did was rescue a few abducted refugees, expose a fake immortal swindling people, cure a plague in the borderlands, fill the granaries of several nearby cities, and beat the Xiongnu soundly when they invaded.
Was it really necessary to summon her back to the capital and make her the Imperial Preceptor over such little things?
The court: Necessary? It’s absolutely necessary! From now on, you’re the one and only Imperial Preceptor of our Great Xia dynasty!
However, when the people in the capital see who has returned with Fang Zhiyu, they can’t help but grow suspicious. He is a handsome apprentice who obeys Fang Zhiyu’s every command.
This isn’t some amnesiac refugee fleeing disaster. It’s the great general who died years ago!
