After Jiang Qingyuan fails her tribulation, she crashes into the entertainment industry. When she finds Xiang Yang surrounded by haters, the residual lightning from her heavenly trial is still crackling at her fingertips.
She crushes a talisman and flings cinnabar mixed with spiritual power. “Anyone who messes with my person can taste the thunder of Awakening of Insects!”
From then on, she becomes the wildest manager in the business: using calming spells to suppress trending scandals, spiritual power to keep her artists’ thermoses warm, and misfortune talismans buried outside her rivals’ doors.
Watching her embed fragments of heavenly lightning into a protective charm, Xiang Yang suddenly understands. “You could have ascended. Why stay here?”
Jiang Qingyuan is adding the finishing touch to a talisman and doesn’t even look up. “The tears you shed during my trial burned brighter than the stars.”
(The tenderness hidden in her talismans is the real reason she never spoke aloud for enduring the trial.)
