“Apprentice, you’re nearly thirty and still unmarried. Your master is so worried my hair is turning whiter by the day.”
“Master, we’re cultivators. Do we really need to get married?”
“What cultivation? Our Maoshan Zhengyi sect expects its disciples to marry. If you don’t, where will that leave my reputation?”
“Master, I have no interest in marriage. I only want to cultivate immortality.”
“Are you trying to anger me to death? Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age. If you don’t experience the mortal world, how are you supposed to cultivate immortality?”
“Aren’t you worried I’ll run into bad people when I go down the mountain?”
“I’m worried the bad people will run into you. Get down that mountain and find a man. Bring your boyfriend home for the New Year.”
Qin Huihui was the 108th direct-line disciple of the Maoshan Zhengyi sect. Raised from childhood by Perfected Tai Xuan, she went to Maoshan to devote herself to the Dao and mastered an astonishing range of skills: moving mountains, filling seas, catching ghosts, subduing demons, driving away evil, talisman craft, the Eighteen Dragon Palms of the Immortals, the Heart Sutra of the Jade Maiden, and more.
Even Ultraman, the little monsters, and Spider-Man together would be no match for her. Unfortunately, her love life was a complete blank. With the year nearly over once again, her master, Perfected Tai Xuan, was so worried that his already white hair turned whiter still. His Daoist heart faltering, he sent her down the mountain to find a man. There were plenty of senior and junior fellow disciples on Maoshan, but they either already had girlfriends or were too young. She couldn’t find anyone good enough, nor anyone young enough.
What follows are the many ridiculous things that happen to Qin Huihui, the heroine, as she pursues happiness in life…
