In the Peach Blossom Valley lies Peach Blossom Mountain, and on that mountain lives an immortal.
Legend has it that the immortal is stunningly beautiful and of extraordinary status. Before becoming an immortal, they were already a person of great influence.
They came here only to cultivate their body and mind after overcoming a tribulation.
Peach Blossom Mountain is the immortal's home, and it opens to visitors for a few days each month.
Everyone wants to catch a glimpse of the immortal, but after climbing the mountain and entering Peach Blossom Pavilion, all they see is the shopkeeper standing behind the counter.
The shopkeeper is breathtakingly beautiful too. Even if they can't see the immortal, one look at the shopkeeper's jade-like face is enough to satisfy them.
Shen Zhen, the fifth prince of the Qian Dynasty, lives in Guzhou, the city farthest from the capital, for one reason alone.
He wants to stay far away from the struggle for the throne, keep the crown away from himself, and live a few more years.
Heaven truly favors Shen Zhen!
His full brother Shen Cen really did claim the throne. Shen Zhen thought he could now live as a carefree prince, running his own Peach Blossom Pavilion far from the capital. But then word arrived from the capital that someone was trying to kill his brother.
This was serious! He had finally become a prince and won himself a life of leisure. He couldn't let it all fall apart now, so Shen Zhen immediately set off for the capital to protect the emperor.
He was determined to enjoy his carefree life! No one was going to ruin it!
On the long journey, Shen Zhen also met a few odd people: a swordsman, someone who claimed to be a half-immortal, and a man who tried to stop him from going to the capital.
After a few encounters, Shen Zhen realized that they were all headed to the same destination.
Shen Zhen: I'm going to the capital to visit family.
Yu Qing: I'm going to the capital to serve as a guard for a prominent household.
Yan Yi: I'm going to the capital to protect the formation for my clan.
Xiao Ce: My elders called me back to the capital to arrange a position for me.
After they parted ways, Shen Zhen had only just entered the main hall when he saw three familiar figures.
Shen Zhen stopped, then quietly crept around to get a look at them. Those three faces were all too familiar.
So the prominent household, clan, and position they mentioned were all my family!!!
The other three, before Shen Zhen talked them into working at Peach Blossom Pavilion: My brother's a carefree prince. We're set!
The other three, after Shen Zhen talked them into working at Peach Blossom Pavilion: My brother's a black-hearted prince. We're done for!
Theme: I kicked my brother into a ditch
