The Max-Level Ancestor in the ’90s Goes Beachcombing with a Bucket and Runs Wild

Li Qingxuan, the cultivation world’s fiercest woman, failed her tribulation and ended up in the body of a downtrodden village girl in a remote coastal fishing village in the 1990s.

No spiritual energy? Can’t cultivate immortality? No matter. If this matriarch can wield a demon-slaying sword, she can wield a seaside-foraging tong!

They say a water ghost haunts East Bay and claims lives? Li Qingxuan reaches into the water and drags out a hundred-jin eel that has gained sentience, then raids a smuggler’s hideout on the way home.

The old village shrine is filled with ghostly wails every night? She kicks down the door and uses the laws of physics to scare the village bully pretending to be a ghost into wetting his pants.

The reserved marine biologist Pei Zheng pins her against the cabin wall, his gaze smoldering. “What secret are you hiding?”

Shen Ye, a ruthless seafood tycoon, gets jealous over her and begs for her attention with red-rimmed eyes.

Expressionless, Li Qingxuan smacks a giant blue crab into their faces. “Get in line if you want to buy seafood. If you want romance, get lost. Don’t get in the way of this matriarch making money!”

[Realistic setting with no supernatural powers + hardcore seaside foraging + rural mysteries + everyone has a one-sided crush + heroine shines on her own and builds her career]
