Shen Yingxue will always remember that day.
She went out to buy birthday rice cakes for her son who had just turned one year old. When she returned home, she saw only empty bedding. The child had long since disappeared, leaving only a jade pendant engraved with the Gu family emblem.
Her childhood was taken away, her cultivation was completely lost, she was left in the wilderness, and almost died.
Fortunately, Cangwu Sanren came to the rescue. She became a disciple and devoted herself to training for twelve years. She had only one thought in her mind - to find and protect her child.
After returning to the world of mortals, she accepted her disciple Su Xiaotang and sent him to Tianyan Academy to practice.
Until the disciple accidentally mentioned that the Gu family had an outstandingly talented young master named Gu Xingchen.
Shen Yingxue was shocked.
This name was what she personally chose for her son back then.
She quietly sneaked into the academy and silently guarded the boy. She wanted to recognize him several times, but she was worried about causing him harm and never dared to act rashly.
What she didn't know was that Gu Xingchen had also been troubled by an inexplicable bond, and felt an indescribable familiarity with the jade pendant around her waist.
As soon as we met each other, all seventeen years of longing came to my mind.
As the truth was revealed layer by layer, Shen Yingxue realized that she was not an ordinary monk from the lower realm, but the daughter of the Immortal Emperor from the upper realm.
The pain of seizing the son back then involved the conspiracy and grudges of the upper world. The Gu family was just a pawn in the hands of others.
