She is the only little princess doted on by all three realms, the apple of her divine parents’ eyes and the darling of her brothers. After she mischievously wrecks the Hall of Miraculous Mists, her father banishes her to the mortal realm with a decree, calling it a trial by tribulation.
Born into the foremost cultivation clan, Yun Li becomes the family’s precious darling. When the number one immortal sect, Tianyan Sect, opens its doors to new disciples in her fifth year, she is instantly chosen for her “innate spirit bones.”
Everyone thinks the adorable little girl looks like a delicate doll who needs to be pampered.
Then, as the demon clan closes in and the immortal sects are routed, she yawns and casually conjures a bolt of annihilating divine lightning.
As all eyes turn to her, the master who took her in and has always kept his distance suddenly drops to one knee, assumes the disciple’s ceremonial posture, and speaks in a trembling voice. “I did not know Your Excellency had descended. This disciple is guilty.”
Immortal Venerable Lingyuan is the supreme being of Tianyan Sect, aloof and transcendent, with a single sword stroke capable of deciding the fate of the world.
He has broken the rules only once in his life: when he found a little girl with stars in her eyes beneath the sect’s mountain gate and took her in.
He made an exception to teach her and shielded her from every storm. But on the day she became famous across the world, he discovered a secret:
The little disciple he had risked his life to protect was none other than the master he had loved from afar, who had fallen ten thousand years into his cultivation… his long-lost beloved.
Is there no male protagonist?
Not bad!
