Wu Erbai, head of the Wu family of Changsha's Nine Gates, was in his fifties and had more tricks up his sleeve than a lotus root has holes. He'd spent his whole life planning for every eventuality, but never imagined he'd be picked up by a Miao girl and worshipped as a cave god in her cave.

A Nuo, a nineteen-year-old Flower Cave Maiden from Miao territory, was a genius at gu arts and breathtakingly beautiful. She was single-minded and wouldn't budge once she'd made up her mind. She'd spent nearly two years waiting in the cave for the cave god to reveal himself, and finally met a stranger suffering from gu poison.

“Lord Cave God, A Nuo will cure your gu poison.”

“Cave God, would you like a Rejuvenation Gu? I spent ages making it.”

“How about a Love-Tie Gu? Then you'll never have to worry about someone poisoning you again.”

Before Wu Erbai could refuse, she'd already made him swallow three gu worms. The poison was cured, his wounds healed, and his face went from that of a man in his fifties to someone in his thirties. Then the girl worked herself into a fever and fell asleep curled up in his arms.

He'd been schemed against and fawned over by countless people in his life, but this was the first time anyone had made herself so exhausted she could barely stand, all just to give him a gu worm.

Fine. He'd be an old bull eating young grass. He'd accept it.

After returning to Hangzhou, A Nuo discovered a whole new world: growing heartbreak grass in the garden, raising five life-bound gu worms in the gu room, plucking a black-haired snake off a servant while out for a stroll, and accidentally taking down half of the Wang family's intelligence network. Three years of the Wang family's covert operations were no match for his wife getting lost on an outing.

Wang Pangzi put it well: “Tianzhen, your uncle's not just an old house catching fire. The whole place has blown up.”
