This story has satisfying moments, tearjerkers, and angst, but no poison.
The pacing isn't particularly fast, but it isn't slow either, and there's no filler.
The heroine is clever and emotionally intelligent, cunning, and both tough and sweet.
Su Jin, a powerful mystic who has cultivated for a thousand years, has entered the mortal world nine times to undergo tribulations.
Each time, she has been blessed with extraordinary luck and sailed through everything with ease.
But during her final trial in the mortal world, her fortune was so great that the Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow it.
By a twist of fate, she became a mute daughter of a concubine (or a legitimate daughter) in the Loyal Marquis's residence of the Great Yong Dynasty.
The Empress Dowager and the marquis's household treated her as a pawn in their power struggle and sent her to the bed of the regent, Xuanyuan Ce.
On the night she was to attend him, the regent was accidentally poisoned.
He gripped her porcelain-white neck and said ominously:
“If I die, do you think you'll survive?”
Su Jin smiled bitterly. She had lived for a thousand years.
And yet, in her final life, she had been swept into the whirlpool of imperial power struggles.
She saved the regent, Xuanyuan Ce, with a universal antidote, thinking the storm had finally passed.
But before one wave could settle, another rose.
An assassination on Vermilion Bird Street revealed black corpse worms.
Evil forces from another world invaded. As a righteous mystic, how could Su Jin stay out of it?
The scheming inner household, the treacherous court, and the battle between immortals and demons, where good and evil cannot coexist.
There is the slow-paced warmth of everyday life,
the little joys that bring a smile,
the political battlefield of power and intrigue,
and mystic adventures with an endless imagination.
How could all of this be explained in just a few words?
To find out what happens next, read on and see for yourselves.
