[Rebirth + cultivation + comeback + alchemy]
When Yun Chuqian opens her eyes, she has become the eldest legitimate daughter of the Yun family, branded a “good-for-nothing” because her spiritual meridians are blocked, and someone even her own uncle can bully at will.
Reborn with memories of the modern world, she has a mysterious “Primordial Spirit” hidden in her dantian, the key to opening the divine realm. Her uncle poisoned her twin younger siblings, leaving them frail, while her father grows increasingly cold toward her under pressure from the family. Only her mother and elder brother fight to protect her. Starting at the Starbud Realm, she awakens her talents for alchemy and beast taming. At the Embermoss Realm, her alchemical flame can produce dew; at the Spirit Speech Realm, she can understand the language of beasts. Step by step, she tears off the “good-for-nothing” label.
Seeking a way forward, she takes a letter of recommendation from her maternal family and heads to Qingyun Academy. Her childhood friend Wen Jingran protects her all along the way, while a mysterious man in black secretly comes to her aid in the Misty Mountains. He is Xuan Jinyuan, a Nine Heavens Divine Venerable who has come in search of the secrets of the divine realm. Later, he disguises himself as “Mr. Xuan” and hides at the academy.
At the academy, she befriends the sharp-tongued alchemist Lin Wanjuan and the passionate wandering cultivator Xie Linzhou, while also drawing the hostility of Meng Qingluo, who is infatuated with Xuan Jinyuan. She uncovers a plot between her uncle and the Meng family, but is framed and loses her cultivation. At her most desperate, the Primordial Spirit erupts. She not only regains her strength, but also cures the poison afflicting her younger siblings.
When her maternal family is implicated, she has already gained the Starsea Realm’s spiritual power, enough to protect her loved ones. The Demon Realm’s Lord, Ye Jin, approaches her because of the Primordial Spirit, but forbidden sparks fly between him and her younger sister. Her elder brother and the eldest daughter of the Mu family join forces to protect the Yun family, while her cousins find love during their trials.
From a scorned good-for-nothing to a powerhouse commanding the divine realm’s star-god spiritual power, from an apprentice by the alchemy furnace to an Ember God Realm alchemist, Yun Chuqian presses on through thorns. Xuan Jinyuan’s protection moves from the shadows to her side, while Wen Jingran’s companionship grows from childhood friendship into deep affection. And when the divine realm finally opens, she comes to understand that what people call a comeback
