Tian Yiyue had no idea that she was the reincarnation of a celestial maiden, or that one of her adoptive parents was the head of an assassin organization and the other a rose fairy. She knew even less that she would one day be responsible for fostering friendly relations between two nations. All she did was follow her master, Wu Jie, in her cultivation and travel around handing out porridge. She never expected that, by chance, she would feed Zi Qingyuan, a disgraced prince cast out of the royal family, and Lord Linglan, who was plotting to assassinate the emperor.
Lord Linglan repaid Tian Yiyue for a meal with a wooden hairpin, joking that he would give his son Zi Qingyuan to her as well. Tian Yiyue refused, citing her cultivation of the Dao. She had no idea that after her death, her son would truly become entangled with Tian Yiyue in a complicated, indescribable relationship. To understand how it all began, one must go back to their previous lives...
From an onlooker's perspective:
I had a Daoist nun friend. Later, she came down from the mountain to save the world. After that, the ruler of a nation proposed to her, and before she could even refuse, her sworn brother started fighting with him... Eventually, she got the life she wanted, and the world became the way she wanted it to be. Oh, right, she really did ascend to immortality in the end!
This story wears the trappings of romance, but focuses on the heroine Tian Yiyue's sweeping, bittersweet life, filled with both triumph and hardship. This is not a lighthearted story, so don't read it if that's not your thing.
The heroine's pairing is already set. Readers who ship other pairings may have their hearts broken.
