The female lead, Lin Zhizhi, is an ordinary office worker in modern society who loves reading books about immortal cultivation. One day, after working late, she suddenly dies from overwork and transmigrates into the body of Lin Zhizhi, the vicious supporting female character in a novel about the cultivation world. The novel's female lead is her older sister, Lin Baiwei, who ascends to immortality by relying on her absurdly lucky ability to receive resources as a direct disciple. When Lin Zhizhi opens her eyes again, she finds herself in an unfamiliar, exquisitely decorated bedroom filled with clouds and abundant spiritual energy, but she has become a baby who can do nothing but cry for milk.
This cultivation world is divided among eight great clans and five major sects. The eight clans include the Ye and Mo families, known mainly for sword cultivators; the Qi and Lin families, known for talisman cultivators; the Huo and Gu families, known for alchemy; and the Bai family, known for artifact crafting, among others. The five major sects are the Wenjian Sect, Xuanyue Sect, Luoshui Sect, Qiyan Sect, and Yushou Sect.
Although the Lin family, where she now lives, is known alongside the Qi family as one of the twin pillars of talisman cultivation, it has produced no expert capable of drawing a "God-Communing Talisman" in nearly a hundred years, and has long since fallen to the bottom among the eight clans. It survives only thanks to the novel's female lead, Lin Baiwei, and her heaven-defying luck: she falls off a cliff and finds an ancient talisman manual, or casually buys a broken jade pendant that turns out to be a spatial artifact. By contrast, the original Lin Zhizhi was branded a "good-for-nothing" because of her impure spiritual roots. Growing up in her sister's shadow, her nature gradually twisted, and she ultimately met a tragic end.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhizhi couldn't help shivering. She had become a helpless baby who couldn't even roll over, let alone fight against a fate that had already been decided. It was a feeling she'd never experienced during her 996 office-worker grind.
