Help! Does anyone understand what I’m going through? I’m Su Fuling, a beautiful young woman so terrified of bugs I could drop dead on the spot, and somehow I’ve become the chosen mother of the Gu King who’s ruled for ten thousand years?! It’s all because the union of my Miaojiang Gu Immortal mother and my Central Plains miracle-doctor father went spectacularly wrong, leaving all my perfect talents pointed straight at raising bugs. But damn it, I’m really, really, really afraid of bugs!
Forced to leave home and roam the martial world, my daily routine goes like this: scream and fling the baby Gu King away → run eight hundred meters → feel guilty and crawl back in tears to apologize: “I’m sorry, baby! My hand suddenly twitched!”
I thought life was already hard enough, until I met them: my hapless band of teammates.
Hong Xiao: A fiery heroine with maxed-out combat skills. She’d rather throw a punch than use her brain, and she’s my personal human shield (who also complains that I’m too slow to throw bugs). Gu Wenqing: A scheming strategist who plans for every possibility and routinely includes his teammates in his calculations (while thinking we’re dragging down his IQ). Xie Wuliang: A lunatic heir to the Shenji Sect whose inventions have a 90% failure rate. The other 10% can work medical miracles… like driving out Gu with a skunk-essence smoke bomb? Qin Guan: A silent powerhouse who can crush venomous snakes with his bare hands. His main duties are carrying Xie Wuliang’s junk and… getting teased by a demoness? Yu Linglong: A thousand-faced phantom and master of illusions who comes with her own background music and riddles, and thinks we’re all her new toys. Ling Wugou: A cold-faced Sword God, handsome and strong but a loner. He secretly fixes Xie Wuliang’s junk and takes none of the credit. A-Dou: My hapless disciple, who fears no bugs and specializes in causing trouble. He’s inherited my medical skills perfectly (along with my knack for getting into trouble). Li Xiaoyao: A braggart whose unlucky reputation never falters, and who gets by entirely on Genshin Impact-level luck.
Many settings are inconsistent and it feels very confusing.
