Lin Wan, a graduate student in history, accidentally transmigrates while restoring an ancient mirror and becomes a good-for-nothing disciple of Qingyun Sect who has lost all her cultivation. In this world of cultivation, where the strong prey on the weak, she discovers a fragment of a mysterious mirror spirit inside her. The remaining shards are scattered across the Nine Provinces, concealing the truth behind the fall of the Mirror Lake Immortal Venerable in her previous life, as well as the power to overturn this world.
Without the advantage of a spiritual root, Lin Wan carves out a new path with her modern perspective and historical insight: she cultivates through history and outmaneuvers every crisis. She founds the Society of Knowledge and Action, gathering like-minded allies and skillfully navigating sectarian infighting and clashes between rival factions. Always by her side is Xiao Moyuan, a library steward bearing both a sword spirit and demonic blood, who loses control on the night of every full moon.
As her memories gradually return and conspiracies come to light, Lin Wan faces her final choice: will she walk the lonely path of the Immortal Venerable from her previous life, or use what she has learned in this life to forge a new path that benefits all under heaven?
This is a journey of self-discovery across time, an epic tale of a rise from ruin through breaking apart and becoming whole again. A mirror reflects appearances, and history offers insight into the heart. Watch as modern thinking deconstructs the world of cultivation, and a good-for-nothing immortal master rewrites the laws of heaven.
