Life in the 1980s Compound: My Cultivator Mom Beats Up a Rebellious Brat

Chu Qingqiu, a master of both medicine and swordsmanship in the cultivation world, failed to survive her tribulation. When she opened her eyes, she had become the army-wife everyone in the military compound despised in the 1980s.

Her husband, Lin Dingyuan, was the youngest and coldest regiment commander in the entire military district. He was about to divorce her. Her fifteen-year-old son, Lin Ran, was a notorious troublemaker in the compound. He skipped school and got into fights, looking at her like she was his enemy. If he failed the neighborhood committee's evaluation next week, he'd be sent to juvenile detention.

Chu Qingqiu had planned to keep a low profile while she recovered, but one rainy night, her own son was cornered by eight street thugs. She walked into the alley in a raincoat and kicked their ringleader flying, taking down the whole group in two minutes.

The compound was in an uproar.

The difficult army-wife could fight, practice medicine, and play the guqin. One needle could save a life, and one song could astound the entire military district.

The cold-faced husband grew more alarmed the more he investigated, while the troublemaker son kept trying to avoid her, only to grow more attached.

Then Chu Qingqiu discovered that the strange symbols her son had casually drawn in his workbook were actually a long-lost spirit-gathering formation.

Why were there traces of cultivation in this 1980s era, where spiritual energy didn't exist?
