Mu Zhizhi and her family are little mushroom spirits.
Although Mu Zhizhi looks a little different from her family, that doesn’t stop them from loving one another.
They live in the woods at the foot of Wentian Sect’s mountain. Every day, the family’s greatest pleasure is pretending to be ghosts and goblins to scare people.
After a few timid cultivators spread increasingly exaggerated stories, the woods became a forbidden place where nobody dared to go.
Until one day, a cultivator in white walked into the woods.
Mu Zhizhi’s family eagerly prepared to scare him off with their usual tricks.
But as soon as he drew near, her family were all forced to reveal their true forms.
Mu Zhizhi alone remained unchanged.
Seeing that things were going badly, she crouched beside a clump of grass, covered her head, and tried her best to look more like a mushroom.
The cultivator crouched in front of her and gazed at her intently. Then he suddenly curled his lips into a smile. “What a coincidence. I was just looking for a mushroom to put in my soup.”

He Xichuan is the son of the Wentian Sect’s leader and has ranked first on the yearly lists time and again. He truly lives up to his reputation as a heaven-blessed prodigy.
No one knows that this lofty, moonlike figure harbors someone in his heart whom he can think of, but never speak of.
She is his junior fellow disciple’s childhood sweetheart, a young female cultivator from the outer sect named Mu Zhizhi.
She is devoted to his junior fellow disciple, and He Xichuan can neither cross the line nor dare to.
But when He Xichuan emerged from seclusion, he learned that his junior fellow disciple had become engaged to another woman.
And after that, Mu Zhizhi ran deep into the woods and never returned.
He Xichuan went into the mountains alone to look for her, and at last found her among a group of mushroom spirits.
Devastated, Mu Zhizhi had become convinced that she, too, was a mushroom spirit named Mu Zhizhi.
She had lost her memory, but when He Xichuan looked into her clear eyes, his dark heart filled with delight.
He took her home, taught her cultivation techniques, cared for her day to day, and gradually helped her become the most confident and carefree female cultivator in the Wentian Sect.
