[Technical-Savvy Heroine x Sharp-Tongued Ancient God with a Soft Heart]
When a technically minded young spirit-plant cultivator meets a ten-thousand-year-old ancient god who can infuriate anyone with a single word.
Cultivating immortality together? No, she got saddled with an old ancestor!
Lin Zhi's greatest dream in life is to become the greatest spirit-plant cultivator under heaven.
But her bonded spirit plant is on the brink of death.
To save it, she ventures into a forbidden land from which no one has ever returned.
She finds no spirit herbs, but accidentally awakens a sharp-tongued old relic who has been sealed for ten thousand years.
He calls himself this venerable one, and complains that her cultivation is weak, her knowledge shallow, and even her sword-flying skills are wobbly.
But her blood turns out to be the key, forcing them into the most perilous of symbiotic spirit pacts.
When she is injured, he feels pain. If he dies, she cannot survive either.
From then on, the technically minded girl who is determined to specialize in plants has a divine tagalong behind her, one who criticizes her all day but whose true power is unfathomable.
He claims that mortal affairs have nothing to do with this venerable one, yet when assassins come for her, he conjures a sky full of green vines with his bare hands and shields her behind him.
He has forgotten who he is. He only remembers that someone has been waiting for him for ten thousand years.
She does not know her bloodline is special, but she is the only living piece in this deadlocked game.
As shadows fall over the lands of the Five Elements, ancient secrets slowly come to light.
Only then does she discover that the one she must save is not just a single plant, but a world that is gradually withering in the absence of its god.
And what he has protected beneath his cold seal is the spring he once bade farewell to with his own hands, and a heart that has long been beating for her.
