[A Princess's Cultivation Journal] Consort Liang of Kangxi

She is a princess of the Song dynasty. After more than a dozen marriages and many extraordinary encounters, her fate has been full of twists and turns. At last, as the Song dynasty falls, she retreats into seclusion with the confidant who understands her. She thinks that from then on, they will enjoy a peaceful life amid the vastness of the world. Little does she know that this is only the beginning of another extraordinary adventure. The one by her side is actually a peerless genius from the cultivation world, undergoing a trial in the mortal realm! To stay with him, she sets out on the path of cultivation, but the road ahead is fraught with uncertainty... The causes of a past life bear fruit in the next. To pursue the Great Dao, she must return to the mortal realm and soothe the accumulated grievances of the world!

She becomes the consort with the lowest-ranking maternal family in Qing dynasty history, born to a lowly bondservant of the Imperial Household Department. Yet her peerless beauty makes her impossible to cast aside, and she becomes the most favored woman in the imperial harem. She struggles in the depths of the palace and bears just one son, only to be caught up in the battle over the succession. In the end, all she gets is the slur that she was born of a lowly woman from the Imperial Household Department. When she falls from favor, she dies in sorrow and anger, her resentment reaching the heavens. At last, this brings a turning point in her life: given another chance, the peerlessly beautiful woman joins forces with a wise princess in the imperial harem. See how they carefully plan each step, turn defeat into victory, and at last, after many ups and downs, lay to rest the grudges of their past lives...

The stages of cultivation are: Foundation Establishment, Illumination, Integration, Heart Awakening, Spiritual Stillness, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Out-of-Body, Divided Spirit, Union, Tribulation Transcendence, and Mahayana.
