Ling Shuangyue, the foremost swordswoman of the Tianshan Sect, is locked in a fight to the death with an elder of the Demon Cult when her ancestral Exquisite Jade sends her crashing into a rental apartment in the 21st century! Her ancient chivalry turns into a string of urban mishaps: she mistakes the toilet for a “water monster” and smashes it, uses her light-footed skills to deliver takeout only to tumble into a bubble tea shop, and challenges the television to a sword duel, stabbing through the screen…
Gu Chen, a laid-back tech geek, finds himself stuck with a “troublemaker.” He grumbles that “even the best martial artist is no match for mosquitoes,” yet helps her earn rent money through livestreaming and uses his knowledge of physics to cover for her claim that she can use “inner energy to fix phones.” But trouble keeps piling up: a video of her using pressure-point techniques to subdue a thief catches the attention of Su Qing, a cool-headed elite from the Special Affairs Bureau; her online persona, “Tianshan Sword Shadow,” draws the notice of Yan Beifei, a young master from a secluded clan; and, worst of all, her nemesis Li Wujiu, the Ghost-Faced Fiend, shows up with modern evil arts, intent on taking the jade to open a passage between the two worlds and invade her homeland!
Her goal shifts from “getting home” to “protecting this little patch of everyday life.” Ling Shuangyue learns programming from Gu Chen to uncover the jade pendant's secrets, gains insight into “blending martial arts” from Old Wang, and uses an improved Tianshan sword technique to shatter Li Wujiu's scheme. When she finally understands that “being a hero isn't about clinging to the past, but protecting the person beside you,” she realizes that the man who stayed by her through her “toilet phobia” and taught her to “fix routers” has become the home she most wants to keep.
Ancient swordplay clashes with modern neon as this adorably clueless heroine turns transmigration into a journey home with her charm and passion!
