[Cultivation + an elderly heroine who becomes young again later on + romance appears late + level-up progression + mortal cultivation + alternating angst and catharsis + heroine’s growth + golden finger]
I’m no good at writing introductions, so please head straight to the story.
Ye Linshi was just an old woman from Ye Family Village. She worked herself to the bone day and night for twenty years to keep her family going.
In return, she got an alcoholic, abusive husband and three coldhearted sons.
Only her youngest daughter, Ye Zhao, truly cared for her and understood her. Even as a little girl, she would stand in front of her mother to protect her when she was being beaten, no matter how frightened she was.
When her mother worked herself sick and collapsed, Ye Zhao started cooking for the whole family, even though the stove was taller than she was, just so her mother could rest.
But this wonderful daughter died.
She died at the Emperor Origin Sect in the cultivation world, pierced through the heart by a sword after jealousy over a new junior sister drove her into cultivation deviation.
The entire sect condemned her, and her reputation was ruined!
But Ye Linshi refused to believe it!
She would join the sect to uncover the truth about her daughter’s death, clear her daughter’s name, and bring her body home!
First, she divorces her husband and abandons her sons.
Second, she travels a thousand miles to the sect.
Third, she struggles through countless hardships to cultivate and enter the inner sect.
Only later does she discover that her daughter’s death was not as simple as it seemed...
