The cultivation world is full of gossip, especially when it comes to Mu Zhuyu, the greatest sect leader under heaven. There are hundreds and thousands of juicy rumors about her, yet even at a thousand years old, she still hasn't taken a Dao companion for dual cultivation.
At last, one day, an idiot came bounding up to Sect Leader Mu and asked, "Sect Leader, have you been hurt in love? Or do you just not like male cultivators? There are plenty of female cultivators in the cultivation world who admire you, too!"
Mu Zhuyu raised an elegant brow. "Little disciple, you're just like that idiot who set me up back then."

Back then, Mu Zhuyu could never get enough to eat, and her stepmother had broken her leg. Even so, she had to gather pig feed every day. By chance, she saved a young man as otherworldly as an immortal. He gave her a book called A Beginner's Guide to Cultivation, then hurried away.

Beneath it was a message:
The first rule for a protagonist changing their fate: Believe with all your heart that my fate is mine to command, not Heaven's!
Three years later, on the way to her wedding, Mu Zhuyu limped away and escaped to begin her cultivation journey.
But thanks to that unreliable cultivation guide and her savior, a young man who looked like an immortal but was an idiot on the inside, her path to cultivation was exceptionally difficult and perilous.
