Cultivation is fun while it lasts; ascension means a fiery afterlife.
After being charred inside and out by heavenly lightning, Su Muqian ascends to the immortal realm and discovers that something about it isn't quite right.
Weren't immortal delicacies supposed to be free for the taking? Why does this immortal realm look so poor?
Su Muqian cultivated just to enjoy good food and drink. Now she's in despair, numb, and ready to run away.
As it happens, the Heavenly Dao of another world needs a programmer, so Su Muqian decisively chooses to merge with it.
Goodbye, immortal realm. I'll be down in the mortal world, eating barbecue and drinking beer while watching you lot show off as you live on wind and dew.
She hasn't even had two days to enjoy the good life when she realizes her roof seems to have become some kind of feng shui hotspot...
What is it about my roof that attracts you all? Why does every one of you come here to undergo tribulation?!
No way. You can't die even if your tribulation fails until you've fixed my roof!
And don't think being broke gets you off the hook. If you have no money, write me an IOU. It's not over until you've paid me back!
After collecting a mountain of IOUs, she realizes that the domineering CEO at her side, the con artist at the roadside stall who tried to tell her fortune, and even the little monk who cried because he couldn't resist the fried chicken all look familiar. Aren't they all the unlucky souls who failed their tribulations on her roof?
When these people meet their creditor in person, not only do they make no attempt to pay her back, they even try to repay her in kind.
No chance of repaying me in kind, unless you can offer me delicious food.
In the end, only Su Muqian's cat managed to repay her in kind.
Male lead: Didn't I manage to repay you in kind?
Su Muqian: Let's clear the forest on your head first, then we'll talk about that.
Theme: Debts must be repaid in food. No exceptions, except for cats.
