Before she turned eighteen, Bai Xiaonuo was a little princess, spoiled by her grandmother and doted on by her parents. She lived in comfort, with everything going her way, and the silver longevity lock her grandmother gave her, worn around her neck, kept her safe for fifteen years.
After she turned eighteen, her life suddenly fell apart. Her career hit a dead end, her family grew distant, and misfortune followed her everywhere. Even drinking water seemed to make her choke. She became the “jinxed one” everyone tried to avoid.
She once thought fate was playing a cruel joke on her. Then she met Chen Jiu and learned the truth: those five miserable years had never been an accident. Someone had used dark arts to sever her fortune and steal the life that should have been hers!
The thief hid in the shadows, using her birth details and the longevity lock her grandmother left behind to practice evil magic. They had even enlisted underworld bailiffs, closing in on her step by step and trying to drive her to despair.
To reclaim her fortune, find the lock, and take revenge, and to see her grandmother one last time, she became Chen Jiu’s disciple. Starting as an ordinary girl who couldn’t even fight back, she trained in talisman arts, crossed into the underworld, and faced evil spirits head-on.
Fights on burial mountains, contracts with the Five Ghosts, a reunion in the underworld, fellow disciples standing shoulder to shoulder… As the layers of conspiracy were peeled away, she clutched the recovered longevity lock at her throat, resolve the only thing left in her eyes:
The fortune you stole from me, I’ll take back a hundredfold. Those who harmed me will pay for it in blood!
