Treading the Path to Heaven: A Cultivator’s Chronicle

When Shangguan Yi was young, she was separated from her family. Given the choice between going home and cultivating immortality, she resolutely chose cultivation.

But when she reached the late Golden Core stage, her master told her she had to go back first and settle her worldly ties before continuing her cultivation. She was also to look for her senior brother, who had been gone for years, and use whatever means necessary if the situation demanded it.

So Shangguan Yi packed her belongings into her spatial ring and descended to the lower realm to return home.

On her very first day back, she was matched for marriage. The family had received two marriage proposals: her eldest sister had married an Assistant Minister of War, her second sister, a concubine’s daughter, had married the second son of a duke, and her third sister, also a concubine’s daughter, had married the eldest son of a merchant family serving the imperial court.

Now the fourth young lady, the original Shangguan Yi, had also been granted an imperial marriage to the mighty general Wei Yuan, who had just returned victorious from battle.

Then a scholar from her hometown arrived with a marriage contract to fulfill, leaving the two elders of the Shangguan family at their wits’ end.

Shangguan Yi felt as if she’d walked into a den of wolves. She’d come back to sever her worldly ties, not to form new ones.

The male lead: a poor scholar. He didn’t actually want to come, but his grandfather had repeatedly insisted. The first thing he said when he met the Shangguan family was, “I’m impotent!”

Shangguan Yi: “...What a coincidence. I’m infertile!” If they really had to go through with the marriage, it would be easier to get out of it with him.
