[Villain + utterly devoted + transmigrate into a book + mutual salvation + two love stories]
Su Jiao, a Sichuan pepper spirit who had cultivated for two thousand years in the Qinling Mountains, had finally managed to fit into human society, only to get dragged into a transmigrate into a book scenario!
In a spirit-master world where the strong prey on the weak, everyone fights for resources and a chance to rise. Su Jiao is a healer with almost no offensive power, and she even bears a Heavenly Dao restriction. She had planned to keep her head down and stay far away from the protagonists, but somehow ended up in the arms of a deranged villain.
A small kindness she showed him as a child earned her the villain’s wholehearted protection.
The entire spirit realm says that Soen is a demon who kills without blinking, and that anyone who crosses him is doomed. But whenever Su Jiao gets close to him, all she ever smells is the cool, clean fragrance of irises. Even the gold cards at his fingertips obediently circle around her.
Her best friend Lin Lu, meanwhile, is the reincarnation of a lucky koi, blessed with outrageous good fortune. She is Su Jiao’s complete opposite, and so likable that no one could possibly envy her!
Su Jiao had thought she was merely here to farm in another world and coast through life. That is, until she led the people of Taoyuan Town to grow fields of crops across the hills, shaking up the old order of wealth and privilege controlled by the financial magnates…
Spirit-master trials, the Lost Isle: none of that matters. Su Jiao has never wanted to be a savior. She wants to join her best friend Lin Lu and her deranged big shot in using the life force of all the plants around them to build a good life in this decaying world!
