Blurb One: Zhou Zipei, the last heir of a down-and-out modern sect, wakes to find himself in the Great Qing Dynasty, a place he has never heard of. He has become the real young master, recently brought back from the countryside by a marquis's household, and is only twelve years old. His birth mother refuses to accept that her eldest son was switched at birth twelve years ago and avoids him. The Bai family's legitimate daughter, betrothed to him since childhood, is mortified and determined to replace him with the marquis's second son. The powerful families of the capital sip their tea and wait to see how the marquis's household will handle this drama. But then a sudden upheaval brings back the cultivation world, which had been gone for over a thousand years. The great sects begin recruiting disciples, and everyone promptly forgets the marquis's household's spectacle. It is only when Zhou Zipei is found to possess extraordinary aptitude in front of everyone that all eyes turn to him again. By then, Zhou Zipei is surrounded by cultivators sent by the great sects to recruit disciples. He finally breathes a little easier. At least he won't have to deal with household intrigue. He's really no good at that sort of thing. Blurb Two: The great sects of the cultivation world don't think much of the sudden appearance of a small mortal world. They casually send a few stewards from their outer sects to recruit disciples. Who could have guessed that this little world, its spiritual energy depleted for a thousand years, would produce a genius rarely seen in the cultivation world in a millennium? The great sects all extend invitations, but the genius chooses the Tai Xuan Sect, the only one that hasn't promised him a list of benefits. Tai Xuan Sect was once the number one sect in the cultivation world. Now, it can barely maintain appearances by relying on its ancestor, who could ascend through tribulation at any moment. When the sect descended to the lower world, it had no intention of competing with the other sects. It only wanted to find the sect's lost scriptures, which might have been left behind there. But before they can even begin their search, the peerless genius coveted by all the great sects joins them, bringing the final volume of the Tai Xuan Scripture, lost for a thousand years!
