Lin Xiaoman, an office worker in the city, is working overtime until the early hours when a mysterious flash of sword light unexpectedly sweeps her into a world of cultivation. There, she becomes the Sword Sect’s one and only good-for-nothing. In this cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak, danger and challenges lurk everywhere. With no one to turn to, Lin Xiaoman only manages to survive thanks to Lu Zhaoran’s help. But the Sword Sect’s elders have their own hidden agendas, and a battle is inevitable. After the fighting, Lu Zhaoran is burned to ash while saving Lin Xiaoman. To bring Lu Zhaoran back to life and find a way to transmigrate back to the modern world, Lin Xiaoman endures one setback after another. By a stroke of fate, she cultivates to the realm of the Sword Sect’s Empress. With help from the Sword Sect’s scroll, she and Bai Wuxia manage to revive Lu Zhaoran. Before returning to the real world, Lin Xiaoman helps the Sword Sect eliminate its threats. Having gained control of the rift in space and time, she can go home only by sacrificing all her cultivation. When I could finally go home, I realized that the hardest part had never been traveling through time and space, but making a choice.
