Lu Mi spent over a century in the cultivation world, finally making it to the Nascent Soul stage and surviving the lightning strikes of her tribulation...
Only to be struck right back into the modern world! And not just anywhere, but America!
From the start, Lu Mi lands in America and is picked up by a serial kidnapper and murderer, who plans to offer her as a sacrifice to an evil god.
When she wakes up, she sees terrified boys imprisoned nearby by the serial kidnapper.
Lu Mi: Why is it always cult sacrifices wherever I go? I lost count of how many evil cultivators I wiped out during my travels.
She may have lost her life-bound sword, but Lu Mi has to admit:
Guns are pretty handy, a blood-grooved dagger feels good in her hand, and a baseball bat is satisfyingly down-to-earth.
And thank goodness she still remembers America's 911 emergency number...
When a large number of police officers rush to the hideout of a criminal believed to be responsible for dozens of serial kidnappings and murders,
Lu Mi has already dealt with the killer with ease. The victims crowd around her, terrified but relying on her, seeing her as their savior.
Facing the armed FBI agents and police officers, Lu Mi simply raises her bloodstained hands and asks with a faint smile, "This shouldn't count as excessive self-defense, right?"
Excessive self-defense? That's called self-defense!
The police don't know how much they want to protect Lu Mi for taking down a brutal serial killer.
When they learn that Lu Mi has amnesia and no identity documents whatsoever, the police chief even applies to become her foster parent and take her in.
Lu Mi: "Huh?"
She got her green card just like that? Has she gone straight from cultivator to immigrant?
Living with a police foster family, Lu Mi can hardly hide her talents for long: her combat abilities are off the charts, she knows a little fortune-telling, and she can even see ghosts. Before long, the police invite her to become a consultant.
She works alongside a high-IQ genius, earns the trust of a cool and handsome detective who can safely turn his back to her, catches brutal serial killers with her own hands, and even makes a guest appearance in a crime drama...
She gets to experience a life and stories straight out of crime, medical, and all kinds of other American TV shows.
[Not just detective stories. There are all sorts of genres, but overall, it has the feel of American and British TV dramas.]
