Zhu Yu was a blade of grass.
Not an ordinary blade of grass.
She had grown for over three thousand years in the vast mountains of the southwest, rooted in a spiritual leyline and nourished by the essence of the sun and moon. One leaf could keep you from feeling hungry for three days, and a bite of her roots could make you immune to every poison. Even the old fox spirits in the mountains treated her with respect and called her "Lord Zhu Yu."
She had spent three thousand years throwing her weight around in the mountains.
Zhu Yu never imagined that one day, despite not even having legs, she would take human form and be sent to the mortal world.
"This dump doesn't even have a decent patch of dirt!" she wailed at the wooden floor of her rented apartment. "Where am I supposed to put down roots?!"
Heaven: Make the most of your trials and experience the hardships of mortal life.
Zhu Yu: Trials, my foot. I want to go back to the mountains.
Later...
Zhu Yu: Turns out mortal life isn't all hardship. There's sweet and sour, and spicy and savory, too.
