Chu Xi transmigrated into an ancient cultivation world, where every sect branded her a good-for-nothing at cultivation.
Chu Xi: Heh... I'm starving to death.
Maybe it was hunger, but Chu Xi fainted. The next moment, she woke up...
Demons had invaded the cultivation world. Countless sects had been wiped out, and low-level cultivators had no choice but to sell themselves in exchange for expensive demon-repelling devices to protect themselves.
Chu Xi, a good-for-nothing at cultivation: Why was I bought too?!
Before she could even process the fact that she'd been sold for a device, Chu Xi was attacked by demons.
Chu Xi: This is bad. The demon-repelling device I got in exchange is healing-type, with no defensive capabilities.
Chu Xi fainted again. When she woke, she saw a chubby little kid.
Kid: Mommy!
Chu Xi: Who's this little brat?
In the middle of the night, out in the wilderness, Chu Xi saw a pouting expression on the kid's back.
Chu Xi: ! Isn't that the special expression I carved into my graduation project?!
Within ten seconds, Chu Xi accepted that her graduation project had transmigrated with her and turned into a kid.
But... what was with the handsome guy the kid was calling Daddy?
Shi Zhuo was at a loss when the kid climbed onto his face and called him Daddy. But looking at the woman and child before him, he grinned. They seemed interesting, so he kept an eye on them. He never expected the little brat to be so powerful: the kid swallowed the results of his mission whole and digested them in three seconds.
Shi Zhuo: I brought this on myself!
Shi Zhuo had no choice. His mission was only halfway done, and he needed the kid's help.
As luck would have it, he ran into the kid's mother, who was drowning in debt and being hounded for payment.
Shi Zhuo: Let her go! I'll pay! Everyone, back off!
The power of money shone brilliantly in that moment!
Chu Xi and Shi Zhuo set off together. The road was crawling with demons.
Shi Zhuo: Don't be afraid, darling. I'll protect you!
Chu Xi: Take the kid and swallow them all! Don't interrupt my research!
Chu Xi hefted a huge, disc-shaped device and set it out in the sun. Every demon within five li was wiped out.
Shi Zhuo: That's my girl!
Chu Xi had to worry about making a living in ancient times, too. She had no spirit stones.
With years of research experience and a knack for making things, Chu Xi became an employee at a device repair shop in Zhuoqing City.
Of course, spirit stones weren't her only reason.
If Zhuqing Sect could make demon-repelling devices, why couldn't she?
Another reason Chu Xi stayed at the repair shop was to sneak a look at how the devices were built inside.
But before she could start making one, she discovered that the kid had gone missing.
She rushed out to find him, only to run into Shi Zhuo, who was holding onto the kid and refusing to let go.
Chu Xi: Let him go!
Shi Zhuo: You actually used a child like this!
Completely talking past each other, the two began a tug-of-war over the kid.
Demons descended. The two couldn't beat them, and at the critical moment, the kid swallowed them in one bite.
Looking at the black smoke billowing from the kid's mouth...
Chu Xi: I've struck gold!
Shi Zhuo fainted before he could say anything, but others spoke for him. His family had arrived.
Young master!
Madam!
Our darling grandson!
We're here!
Chu Xi: What is going on now?!
The heroine seems stern and serious, a techie at heart, but she's soft-hearted and dotes on her husband.
The hero starts out scheming and pretending to be lovesick, but later becomes a devoted, jealous husband who truly worships his wife.
Theme: Keep pressing forward, even when you have nothing.
