Demon Venerable Ji Qianye once shook the Three Realms through her own power. Tired of a life of fighting and killing, she carefully staged her own “fake death” and reincarnated as an utterly ordinary outer disciple in a second-rate immortal sect. Her one ambition in this life is to lie flat, be a lazy fish, and eat her fill while waiting to die. Yet the instincts of a Demon Venerable engraved in her soul keep sabotaging her plans to laze around. She tries to steal a spirit chicken to make soup, only to tame the sect’s guardian divine beast along the way. She looks for somewhere to nap, only to kick open an ancient secret realm sealed for a thousand years. She casually offers a few pointers to her good-for-nothing senior brother, and he suddenly achieves enlightenment and becomes an unrivaled sword immortal. Her string of “unintentional” deeds catches the attention of Gu Qingxuan, the foremost Immortal Venerable of Tianguang, who has come to hunt down the Demon Venerable’s surviving followers. A paragon of the righteous path, aloof and icy as snow, Gu Qingxuan finds his worldview shattered again and again by this female disciple who is “strange in her ways, mysterious in her strength, and utterly lacking in ambition.” As Gu Qingxuan goes from suspicion to shock to “She’s so special, I love her,” the two join hands to uncover the shocking conspiracy behind the war between immortals and demons all those years ago.
