One-line summary: A penniless Sword Master spends money online to raise a little one
When Ye Guai is four, she meets her immortal dad.
Ye Guai is the real daughter who was switched at birth in a sweet romance about a fake heiress. She is kidnapped and sold, then rescued and raised by a mountain hunter. When she is four, the hunter dies in an accident. She grows up amid hardship, finally returns to the Ye family, only to be rejected by her parents and harmed by her older brother. Driven out of the family, she dies miserably on the street.
When Ye Guai turns four, the plot unfolds as expected. Her hunter dad goes out and never returns. Locked inside the wooden house deep in the mountains, Ye Guai listens to the terrifying howling wind and the animals roaring outside. She is hungry and afraid.
The food Dad left is all gone. Is she going to starve to death?
Just as Ye Guai is about to lose consciousness, a sweet strawberry cake appears out of thin air in front of her.
Han Yuan, the Sword Master of the Ruthless Path, fails his tribulation. He survives by sheer luck, but his foundations are destroyed, leaving him with no chance of ascending. In one night, he falls into ruin, abandoned by all and scorned by thousands.
Just as his Dao heart shatters and he is about to give up on himself, a dirty little mortal girl suddenly appears in his sea of consciousness, along with a "Spend Money to Raise a Good Little One" System.
System: This system is a product of the Heavenly Dao. Spend with confidence and enjoy the fun of raising a little one!
System: Spend money, big shot! All it takes is spending money to help your little darling grow up happily!
"Ding! New user mission: Save the little darling! Today is her birthday. Buy her a strawberry cake (This mission is mandatory!)"
System: Big-shot Sword Master, don't just stand there. You're a Sword Master, so you must have lots of spirit stones!
Sword Master: ...
He looks at the exchange shop. The cheapest strawberry cake costs... ten thousand spirit stones?!
What is strawberry cake? Is it made of spirit stones?!
Everyone knows that sword cultivators are the poorest in the cultivation world, and the Sword Master is now poorer than all of them.
The plot veers off course for some inexplicable reason, and the sweet romance about a fake heiress is overtaken by the arrival of a bizarre world. When Ye Guai is taken back to the Ye family, she sees a mansion shrouded in bad luck and negative energy. It is sure to be the next site where a bizarre world appears. She was going to deal with it along the way, but then...
Your identity can't be made public. We can only say you're an adopted daughter.
Don't be jealous. You were just unlucky.
Mingzhu is our one and only precious daughter and little sister.
Your fate is healthy, so give it to Mingzhu. We'll take good care of you from now on.
Before Ye Guai can even get angry, the Sword Master, who has been watching the whole thing, is furious.
You think you can scheme against the precious daughter I raised? System, spend! I want to make ten thousand bizarre phenomena descend on the Ye family!
Later, Ye Guai leaves without looking back. Only then does the Ye family realize that the master of Chinese studies, the successor to the spirit-cooking tradition, the genius girl... and even the great expert from the bizarre world they have been searching for are all Ye Guai?!
The Ye family: We're doomed.
Ye Guai has a little secret. She was raised by an immortal dad.
When she says she is hungry, strawberry cake appears out of thin air. When she says she's scared to be alone, a spirit fox keeps her company. Even when she wants to fly into the sky and pick the stars, her immortal dad can teach her how...
Her one regret is that Dad never appears in person to see her. Meeting him has become an obsession.
After receiving a message from the Ye family, she is brought home, hoping she'll finally get to see her dad. Instead, she is met with coldness, disgust, rejection, and slander.
She's so disappointed. What biological parents? The one she's looking for is her immortal dad!
You want to bully her? Better see whether her dad will allow it!
