Xue Yining, the senior disciple of Wangyue Sect, was betrayed by her Dao companion and reborn as A Ning, a village girl in a tiny village. Only then did she learn that she was a young person from the twenty-first century.
The village idiot next door tried to lure Xue Yining home to be his wife with a single steamed bun. Xue Yining said, "How about I just be your dad instead? Give me the other steamed bun, too." And so, eight-year-old Xue Yining acquired a sixteen-year-old son.
When famine struck the village, Xue Yining signed up for the sects' disciple selection in exchange for a bag of flour. She turned out to have a top-grade Heavenly Spirit Root, and the sects fought over her, predicting that a cultivation genius was about to rise. Xue Yining said, "Then let me give everyone a demonstration of how quickly a genius can fall." She turned around and joined the Star-Picking Pavilion, a sect utterly obsessed with money.
The people of the Star-Picking Pavilion thought they had welcomed back an astrological genius who could make their sect flourish. Instead, Xue Yining turned out to be a walking money pit, leaving everyone in the sect on edge. Xue Yining said, "Grand Martial Uncle, I heard you secretly served as the Imperial Astrologer and made a fortune!" Grand Martial Uncle: "I swear, I'm completely broke! T_T"
The Demon Lord He Qinglou suffered a cultivation deviation and became the village idiot in a tiny village. While her mind was still muddled, an eight-year-old girl contracted her as her son, creating the one and only humiliation in her demonic life.
Years later, when she saw the grown-up Xue Yining, all she wanted was to "kill her father."
And then, the Demon Lord gradually turned the tables, rewriting the story of "killing her father" into "I have a wonderful dad."
