[System + Plot Rewrite + Redemption + A Touch of Family Affection + Brotherly Bonds] Wu Ling, a mighty cultivator of the Ruthless Dao, fails to survive her tribulation and is reborn as the youngest daughter of Wu Laogou, Wu Sansheng’s biological younger sister, and the fourth-ranked member of the Wu family.
With peerless cultivation that places her at the pinnacle of the world’s combat power, she adheres to the Ruthless Dao and spends most of her time secluded in a small courtyard in a bamboo grove. She has always lived apart from the world, keeping clear of the Nine Gates’ endless worldly affairs.
Her nephew, Wu Qi, accidentally obtains a rubbing of the Lu Prince’s Palace and spends his own money on equipment, hoping to explore the tomb. In search of clues to the ancient tomb, Wu Sansheng invites Zhang Qiling to join him.
A casual conversation lets their plans slip. Bound by blood ties, Wu Ling is reluctantly drawn into the affair and sets out with the group on their tomb-exploring journey.
The mighty cultivator had no intention of getting caught up in the Nine Gates’ fateful entanglements. From then on, however, she finds herself embroiled in one perilous ancient tomb after another.
Cool and aloof, with few desires and no ties to bind her, she has no interest in romance. She watches impassively as the Wu family’s uncle and nephew repeatedly fall into traps and get swindled, while relying on her cultivation to overcome strange and deadly dangers, wandering as she pleases among the tombs of Xisha and the Qinling Mountains.
