The Heavenly Court wants to drag her back?
Shen Sijin, the ancient Ninefold Ash Profound Venerable, decisively abandons her divine rank and slips into the mortal world for some peace and quiet!
Her true form is a Ninefold Abyssal Black Cat, with nine lives and nine aspects. She was once one of the strongest beings in the Three Realms, and she still is!
Thousands of years ago, she revealed her full brilliance and incurred the Jade Emperor's suspicion, prompting him to launch an all-out assault. Her cultivation was cut in half, and she fell into the mortal realm.
She lay low for thousands of years, cultivating in seclusion from the late Ming dynasty onward, until she returned to her peak in the modern era.
She conceals her cultivation and slips into the mortal world, hoping to sip milk tea, enjoy herself, and take it easy. But the Heavenly Court keeps closing in, spirits wreak havoc, demons appear, and one bizarre unsolved case after another lands at her door.
She makes many close friends and no longer fights alone, facing the shackles of the Heavenly Dao with the strength of a group.
Then Lu Yanci, with whom she has shared entanglements across nine lifetimes, appears once more and is unexpectedly drawn into the conflict.
After thousands of years drifting through the mortal world, she realizes the Heavenly Dao is unjust. So she will stay here, protect the mortal world, and uphold justice.
From then on, she forsakes divine authority to protect the mortal world!
