As the times advance, so do people’s ideas. Even with all kinds of childbirth and education subsidies introduced by the government in 2100, fewer and fewer people are willing to marry and have children. The population is plummeting, many jobs have been replaced by robots, and people are growing increasingly distant from one another.
Meanwhile, the underworld is overcrowded with ghosts, and the queue for reincarnation stretches five hundred years into the future. Every day, souls whose spiritual energy runs out before they can reincarnate dissipate. Many souls rich in merit and good fortune have no choice but to expend their own merit and good fortune to keep themselves from dissipating, but that cannot last forever.
The Heavenly Dao of this world is also growing weaker under these conditions. With no other choice, it contacts the Heavenly Daos of three thousand other worlds and establishes a quick transmigration department for derivative worlds. Special souls from this world will take souls on the verge of dissipating, but rich in merit and good fortune, into derivative worlds on the brink of collapse after their chosen child of fortune died young. There, they will be with the father of that child of fortune and give birth to the soul they brought along, replacing the child who died young and stabilizing the derivative world.
Yun Xuan is one of the special souls selected: a pure spirit. She is assigned to the derivative world of Empresses in the Palace. She will be reincarnated there, living as a woman of any identity from Empresses in the Palace, until the underworld of her original world is completely stable.
