[No Romance] [No Male Lead] [Traditional Cultivation and Monster-Slaying]
(After entering the Daoist path, men and women are treated without distinction, so everyone is addressed as senior or junior brother.)
He Shibai is the eldest disciple of Perfected Nanzhu of the Tianxiao Sect. After his Dao heart is damaged, he leaves to travel and mend it, but his master suddenly summons him back to the mountain. Upon returning, he discovers that his second and third junior brothers have both been forced into seclusion to cultivate by a newly initiated junior brother, who also seems to bear him inexplicable hostility.
Perfected Nanzhu: “I’m leaving your junior brother in your hands. Teach him well.”
He Shibai: “...”
She’s only a hundred years old, yet she’s been saddled with a disciple her master has been raising for decades. She doesn’t even know whether to think of him as her junior brother or her own disciple.
Only after getting to know this junior brother does He Shibai realize that things are far more complicated than she thought. In the end, her junior brother causes a huge disaster by releasing the evil spirits trapped beneath a seal. She has no choice but to take him down the mountain, capture the spirits, and seal them away again to make amends...
