Shen Cuiyu was the most famous celestial master in the empire.
But ever since her long-lost younger sister returned, everything changed.
Her younger sister, who had no spiritual power whatsoever, always managed to resolve the supernatural cases Shen Cuiyu took on before she could.
Rumors even spread that Shen Cuiyu was jealous of her sister’s talent and wanted to drive her own sister to her death.
Everyone despised her, and her elder brother even sealed her inside a stone cave, where she starved to death.
Reborn, Shen Cuiyu, once unloved by both her father and mother, became the cherished darling of a top occult family.
Her family sent her to the most famous academy in the occult world. There, she met the strangest teammates in history:
The heir to the Wu Nuo tradition, who couldn’t even draw a low-level talisman, and the violent Dongfang Xiao;
Zhong Shengwan, an arrogant young master who was frail and afraid of ghosts.
Then there was the young prince, a powerful figure at court who had no spiritual power at all. He looked at Shen Cuiyu with smiling eyes and said, “I hear celestial masters can read faces, too. Would you read my romantic prospects?”
No one had any faith in the group when the four of them joined forces. But to everyone’s surprise, their ranks kept rising, and they surged ahead on the points leaderboard!
Just as Shen Cuiyu’s life was going wonderfully, her “dear little sister,” Liu Ruyan, who had stepped over her corpse to rise to power in her previous life, returned under the halo of being the “reincarnation of the Mystic Maiden”!
Liu Ruyan completed every occult mission Shen Cuiyu took on before she could. As Liu Ruyan closed in on her at every turn,
Shen Cuiyu merely smiled and waited for her rival to achieve fame and success.
At the grand sacrificial ceremony, with the people paying homage, Liu Ruyan was ushered into the imperial court in all her glory. At the very peak of her triumph, Shen Cuiyu suddenly scattered her spiritual power until not a trace remained!
The crowd erupted in shock, but Liu Ruyan looked utterly panicked, on the verge of a breakdown. “Shen Cuiyu, what have you done?!”
A smile played on Shen Cuiyu’s lips. This seemingly insane act of destroying her own cultivation was the ultimate killing move she had carefully prepared for her dear little sister...
Super pretty! Like it very much
It's too short, and it's not enough.
