Su Changqing was the eldest legitimate son of the Su family, the most powerful clan in Tuoyun City. But when his father, the family patriarch, was injured and fell into a coma, his second uncle and third aunt seized the opportunity to drive his entire family out of the clan.
With the nationwide preliminary exam for psychics just around the corner, he suddenly had an epiphany in the restroom the day before and barely managed to meet the entry requirements.
To everyone's astonishment, while the others made equal contracts, he simply smiled, having already seen through the mysteries of the world. He turned and successfully made a life-and-death contract with none other than an F-rank cabbage caterpillar.
By conventional wisdom, an F-rank contract had an extremely low ceiling, making it nearly impossible to advance beyond an ordinary psychic in a lifetime. But Su Changqing refused to follow the beaten path, charging ahead until he reached the forbidden rank.
In his later years, he was asked in an interview why he had chosen to contract with a cabbage caterpillar.
He only smiled and said softly, “The world laughs at the cabbage caterpillar, but after wind and rain, it becomes a dragon.”
