Ning Tian was born in Xiangyang Village, Canglong County, Jizhou, to Liu Xu. Defying her family's objections, Liu Xu had married a soldier stationed at the border. She was pregnant with Ning Tian when his father died on the battlefield, protecting his family and defending his country, before the child was even born. From then on, Ning Tian grew up without a father. The family fell into decline, and Liu Xu became known as a widow. Her family turned their backs on her, and the compensation money was skimmed off at every level. What little silver reached her was not enough to cover the household expenses, so Ning Tian learned to be sensible from a young age. But being sensible was not enough. Liu Xu, branded a widow, had pined for her husband, who had died on the battlefield, until she fell ill. Her son was only ten and too young to help. Apart from the house his father had left behind, the family had nothing. To raise her child, Liu Xu couldn't bear to spend money on medical treatment, and her condition worsened. When Ning Tian was eighteen, she passed away, leaving him alone. After turning eighteen, he got a job as a waiter at an inn. It gave him enough to eat and let him save a little silver. But during his maternal grandfather's birthday celebration, his cousin humiliated him, saying Ning Tian hadn't even reached the lowest cultivation level, the Qi Refining Realm. Unable to swallow the insult, Ning Tian talked back, was beaten half to death, and thrown out. He crawled home and swore he would make them see him differently. From then on, Ning Tian embarked on the path of immortal cultivation... Undaunted by hardship and eager to learn, Ning Tian met Meng Wanjun in a life-or-death crisis. Her identity was a mystery, and when she was taken away, she left him with one parting promise: “We'll meet again when you become a god!” Step by step, he rose to become someone the Liu family could only look up to.
After surviving one life-or-death crisis after another, Ning Tian ascended to the heavens and encountered Meng Wanjun. But he never expected that when they met again, Meng Wanjun...
