Yu Yi has devoted herself to cultivation for more than three hundred years and finally ascends to the immortal realm, only to discover that something seems off about it.
The so-called High Gods, Divine Emperors, and Immortals are nothing but a bunch of layabouts who know how to eat, drink, have fun, and fool around.
They feel uncomfortable if they go a day without romance, think the whole world has wronged them when their relationships end, and are always ready to sacrifice all living beings to mourn their love.
The immortal official in charge of welcoming newly ascended immortals tells her that a certain Divine Emperor belongs to an ancient dragon clan, a certain High God belongs to an ancient phoenix clan, a certain God of War belongs to an ancient qilin clan, a certain Immortal belongs to an ancient Zhuyu clan, a certain fairy belongs to an ancient hibiscus clan, and so on...
Yu Yi: Then I'm from an ancient human clan! The ancient goddess Nuwa herself created us. I'm a bona fide descendant of the Yan and Huang Emperors. Do you see me bragging about it?
After politely declining the official's offer to introduce her to a position as a fairy attendant in some High God's palace, Yu Yi heads straight to the Imperial Stud and takes a job looking after horses.
It's easy work, it doesn't wear her out, and the pay is good. She has plenty of free time to cultivate, and when she's occasionally transferred to another department, she gets several times the usual travel allowance. Those torturous romances that last for several lifetimes and the burdensome task of saving the world have nothing to do with her.
Until one day, a certain High God, heartbroken and corrupted by dark magic, leads a host of demons in an attack on the heavenly palace and accidentally kills one of the horses Yu Yi is responsible for. She finally loses her patience and sends him straight to the afterlife with a single sword strike.
The immortals of the heavenly realm: That's absurd!!! This is the little immortal who just ascended from the lower realm??? How can her power be this terrifying!!!
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is a modern woman. She first transmigrates to the cultivation world, then transmigrates again to the immortal realm as she's about to ascend.
2. The cultivation world and immortal realm operate under different systems. The female lead's combat ability is MAX.
3. There is a male lead, but not much romance.
4. This is my own take on the immortal realm, with lots of personal worldbuilding. Everything goes by what I write.
Theme: Keep striving for as long as you live
