Nine Cauldrons

When Zhong Ling arrived in this world, her original self was pregnant with her cousin's child and had married a woodcutter from the mountain village.

With nowhere else to go, she decided to stay.

Zhong Ling had no grand ambitions. All she wanted was a peaceful life. Over time, she and her bargain-bin husband fell in love, and they lived together in perfect harmony.

She made scented balm, sold offal, and gathered mountain delicacies, leading the entire village out of poverty and into prosperity. In the tenth year of her family's happiness and contentment, her cousin returned on his flying sword.

Her cousin said she was his inner demon.

Only when her family was destroyed did Zhong Ling finally realize that the life she had thought was a peaceful, cozy farming story was actually a brutal and perilous world of cultivation.

*

After her death, Zhong Ling awakened nine divine cauldrons, each corresponding to a different talent:

constitution, comprehension, physique, fortune, appearance, mystic powers, spiritual sea, bloodline, and spirit speech.

At the end of each life, the gold sand stored in the cauldrons can be used to strengthen her attributes in the next one.

With every reincarnation, she grows stronger.

Until her admirers are lined up in a long queue, asking which one she will choose. Zhong Ling closes her fist and declares, "I want them all!"
