Lin Xiaowan, a young doctor from Qingshui Town, only wanted to tend her medicine stove and live a peaceful life. But during the Tianfeng Sect's recruitment test, her Ice Spirit Root froze the entire plaza and shattered the spirit-testing stone, prompting the elders to cry, “A once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy!”
From then on, she was ushered into the Tianfeng Sect and became the beloved junior sister of six senior brothers. Every day, her eldest senior brother gently reminded her, “Don't get into too much mischief.”
Her second senior brother stuffed a spirit-stone belt into her hands as a New Year's gift.
Her third senior brother made tonic soup and fed it to her, muttering, “If you get any thinner, I won't be able to carry you.”
Her fourth senior brother sprawled on the ground beside her to work through formation calculations, his ears turning bright red.
Her fifth senior brother played “Soul-Calming Melody” to lull her to sleep.
Her sixth senior brother brought his rabbit along to get into trouble with her, then joined her in copying the sect rules as punishment from their master. And their master, Wuyou, the legendary silver-haired beauty with a cold expression, was strict with her by day, yet secretly dried her rain-soaked shoes and socks at night.
Then fate was revealed: she was the imperial princess of the ancient Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox clan, and he was the Fire Phoenix True Lord who had descended to the mortal world for her. A thousand years ago, he took the calamity that wiped out her clan for her. A thousand years later, she froze the heavenly tribulation and burned the evil palace for him. When the twin tribulations of ice and fire descended, her six senior brothers formed the “Big Dipper Heart-Guarding Formation” to shield her from the lightning.
At their wedding above a sea of clouds, a phoenix pulled the carriage, and her senior brothers cried their eyes out.
In the end, she ascended to godhood in her nine-tailed form and joined hands with her master to cleave open the gates of heaven.
She left them with these words:
“From now on, the snow and wind are mine, and so are the flames. And you...”
She looked back at her six senior brothers, her expression as bright as ever. “You will always be my family.”
