After transmigrating into the Investiture of the Gods world, Wang Jingjiao became the youngest of the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, the Jade Pipa Spirit.
Her ultimate mission was to help King Wu overthrow King Zhou and bring down the Shang Dynasty.
Her eldest sister, the Nine-Tailed Fox, hugged her with tears in her eyes and spoke in a deep, rich baritone: "Little sister, with me here, King Zhou will never take advantage of you."
Wang Jingjiao's pupils quivered. How had nobody told her that Su Daji was actually a cross-dressing man?
Her second sister, the Pheasant Spirit, slammed the table and jumped to her feet. "I've put up with this long enough! When are we finally going to make the list of those deified?"
Wang Jingjiao got it. This was a grand civil service recruitment exam. Passing meant securing a permanent post in the Celestial Court.
But before she'd gotten halfway through the exam, everything fell apart. Her true identity was exposed, and as she was roasted over the Samadhi True Fire, Wang Jingjiao thought in a daze, This time I'm probably done for. If I turn back into a pipa, is there still any hope of saving me?
A god in red robes and golden armor descended from the heavens and held her corpse tightly in the flames.
"I've died once, and you've died once too. So we're even now, okay?"
Five years later, she was reborn at the Star-Picking Tower, falling into an embrace scented with lotus flowers. When she opened her eyes, sure enough, she saw that lotus-root spirit who used his good looks to get away with anything.
"Want a divine title? Why not cultivate together with me and become a saint in the flesh?"
