[No CP + Ancestor + Metaphysics + Ghost Exorcism + Fortune-Telling + Cultivation (with caveats)]
The Grand Princess Anle, who had guarded the nation and been dead for two thousand years, rises from the dead. She has no idea why this happened, or who buried her in a corpse-nourishing ground.
A thousand years have passed, and everything has changed. The people she once knew have long since turned to dust, her sect nearly faded into oblivion, and the descendants of the imperial clan have even changed their surname.
The head of the Xiao family is overjoyed to welcome their ancestor back, expecting a kindly relic of the past. Instead, they discover that her professional skills are alarmingly overqualified.
When her descendants come to her with all kinds of requests:
"Your brother was hit with a love curse. Want me to lift it? That depends on whether he has the fate for it."
When the wrongfully murdered female ghost pleads with tears in her eyes:
"You want to kill your enemy with your own hands? Fine. Give me seventy percent of your essence in exchange."
When the head of a wealthy family begs for help, willing to give anything:
"Heal your grandson's leg? All right. I want the entire Pei family's fortune."
When a younger relative asks whether she ever ordered executions during her reign, she answers calmly, leaving the whole room stunned: "Three days without sheathing our blades, and we built a viewing platform from our enemies' heads. What do you think?"
Later, the wrongfully murdered ghosts come weeping to her.
Di Xuanyue looks at them and smiles. "Hand over your essence, and take your revenge yourselves."
From then on, a dark rule spreads through the mortal world: Better to incur the wrath of the King of Hell than to see the imperial princess smile.
She was once the Grand Princess who held the fate of the realm in her hands. Now she has returned to the mortal world to guide ghosts, divine people's fates, and collect every debt that is owed.
