(Metaphysics, sweet romance, heroine gradually becomes beautiful, sharp-tongued big-shot hero)
Yu Yan was exceptionally gifted. In less than a hundred years, she rose from an orphan to the Holy Maiden of the Spirit-Speech Continent.
Yet for some reason, she transmigrated into the body of an ugly young woman whose parents had died early and whose luck was terrible.
An ugly girl covered in birthmarks? A stupid good-for-nothing who couldn’t get into high school? A ghost slave betrothed to a dead man?
While eating cake, Yu Yan retrieves her lost magical treasures and immortal arts one by one.
Talismans that suppress every kind of evil.
The ability to communicate with all the myriad spirits of the Three Realms, simply by willing it.
She can fold paper into anything, then bring it to life with a casual touch.
Throughout the Heavenly Realm, the Underworld, and the mortal world, men straighten their clothes and women fix their makeup at the sound of her name.
It’s as if the order of Heaven and the Dao rests on a single thought from her.
Just as Yu Yan regains her beauty, power, and true identity,
she turns around to find Emperor Fengdu holding incense so her husband can light his cigarette.
“If you want to smoke, go outside!”
When Yu Yan appears coldly at the Heavenly Court:
Brother Monkey: I’m hiding first. I didn’t comb my hair this morning.
The Matchmaker: You’ll see that all my red strings are arranged uniformly, exactly in accordance with the required specifications.
Emperor Fengdu: Your husband asked me to play a game. I gave him a serious talking-to.
The Three Realms: The inspector’s here! Run!
