Chu Yun's soul transmigrated into the body of a heroine who had been unwanted since birth. She was born without a mother, then sent back to the countryside and left to fend for herself.
To make matters worse, on the very day Chu Yun arrived, her half-sister beat the legitimate daughter of the General's household until she passed out from the pain.
If they hadn't needed to trade the heroine for her two brothers, who were prisoners of the enemy army, her half-sister might have killed her.
Chu Yun held her temper and, after leaving the General's household, became partners with the most powerful people in both kingdoms.
To build a better life for herself, Chu Yun used metaphysics to help powerful figures deal with their troubles, gradually building a network of her own.
One day, a man in a black, red, and white robe suddenly appeared before her.
“Little Yun Yun, take me in, please.”
Chu Yun replied without hesitation, “Get lost.”
Later on.
Chu Yun saved an elderly white-haired man by chance. He took her to a remote mountaintop and, to repay her for saving his life, taught her how to survive in the world.
At the same time, she secretly built up her own forces. Just as she was enjoying the peace and quiet, a noisy voice sounded beside her.
“Little Yun Yun...”
Chu Yun landed a quick, precise punch that sent him flying, then swiftly hid herself.
Later still.
Chu Yun discovered that everyone around her was more than they seemed. The white-haired old man she had saved was friends with the Heavenly Dao.
Wow!
Had she just latched onto the ultimate powerhouse?
The ultimate powerhouse: I'm right here. Can't you see me?
Finally.
Chu Yun discovered that she had somehow become the Heavenly Dao's boss. She had never even dared to imagine it. Wait, what?
