Ling Ye, a battle-weary powerhouse who fought her way to the top during the zombie apocalypse, opened her eyes to find herself reborn in a parallel world where spiritual qi revival had begun and gods and demons had descended. She had become a good-for-nothing high school girl, so weak she couldn’t even truss a chicken. As far as she was concerned, this world had one advantage: for now, it didn’t need her to save it. Ling Ye had planned to rely on her past-life experience, a spatial artifact she’d accidentally bonded with, and the mythical beast Qiongqi to coast through this life, becoming an utterly unremarkable wealthy woman working behind the scenes. But her pathological curiosity was ignited by the secrets hidden behind the world’s spiritual qi revival. Her investigation inevitably threatened the interests of the ancient secret-keeping organization known as the Silent Shield. This immense power, made up of divine descendants and priests of the old gods, would do anything to cover up the truth and preserve its crumbling rule. And so begins an epic spy thriller of “I just want to clock out, but you people keep making me work overtime.” Ling Ye, a “seasoned expert at slacking off,” is forced to match wits with ancient keepers of secrets in a ruined city overrun by gods and demons, prying open the vault of history one step at a time. She isn’t trying to save the world. It’s simply that the mystery is there, and she can’t stand leaving it unsolved.
