Name: The Frail Ancestor Raises a Little Bean
Author: White Crane Grass

Synopsis

More than a hundred years ago, Li Huaixi's entire sect was wiped out. Every living thing perished, from the birds flying above the sect to the rats in their burrows.

After an extraordinary stroke of fortune sent her ascending to immortality, she fought her way through twelve immortal sects. Heaven punished her by sending her to the Hall of Wrongful Death, where she spent 127 years examining her conscience.

When she finally emerged, she returned to the old site of her sect. Before she could even take a sip of tea, she discovered she had five penniless grand-disciples to raise.

Before her return, the five little tykes had lived on bran and greens every day. One after another, they'd grown so thin they looked like big-headed dolls.

To earn money to feed the children, Li Huaixi took any paying job, whether it paid a single copper coin or eight hundred spirit stones.

Cultivators and mortals, monsters and immortals, men and women, young and old: Li Huaixi would take anyone's spirit stones.

By the end, everyone called her a schemer.

Li Huaixi had no comment.

When you're cultivating immortality, who isn't a schemer?

In time, Li Huaixi not only raised five genius grand-disciples, but rebuilt the mountain sect and welcomed disciples far and wide. Her sect reclaimed its place as the foremost immortal sect.

*

When Zhang Lanxi was young, he met a woman who was a con artist.

The con artist was arrogant and flamboyant, silver-tongued and insincere. She sweet-talked Zhang Lanxi into tearing away half his soul for her.

The hapless immortal was perfectly willing to be fooled. When the con artist got out of prison, he even showed up on his own to serve as her tutor.

(The main story is about a fallen sect rising again. The kids are all sweet on the outside and scheming on the inside. A slice-of-life story with an ensemble cast.)

It's the kind of water that flows slowly, which makes people feel warm in their hearts. However, I still don't recommend having a male protagonist appear. I hope there is no cp, otherwise I really plan to abandon the article. It's not easy to see a good one, 😢😢😢

It's so good to cry 😢 😢 The heroine is alone. Although she is accompanied by her disciples, she is also very lonely. Not many of her old friends are alive anymore. Her own strength is only 20%, and her divine bones are unstable. I hope you will get better and better, and the Ruined Sect will get better and better (✪▽✪) [Blow kiss]

It's very warm, the little cubs are very cute, and the little disciples are very united. The master of the disciples must be well. The only regret at the moment is that the master did not see her disciples, the master of the young disciples 😢😢😢 This is a book with great potential. I want to be an initial fan [give my heart]

A very nice book about group portraits. The group portraits written in large letters are really great. Every character is very vivid, and the author is very good at writing reversals. I was fooled hahaha. Anyway, it is a very good book 🥰🥰🥰

Everyone is very lively and humorous, which I love. The heroine is not bad either. She is ragged and still awesome. Hahaha. I have been waiting so hard for the serialization.
