Synopsis
*
The Star-Seer Immortal Lord cast her horoscope and told her she was destined to face a calamity.
She was just a little Matchmaker Immortal. What sort of calamity could she face? A fatal one? A romantic one?
She didn't quite believe him, and simply smiled it off.
When Qing Liu was still a carefree Matchmaker Immortal, her life in heaven wasn't especially smooth or luxurious, but she was free. She had long since forgotten the horoscope the Star-Seer Immortal had cast for her amid the ever-busier days, until she picked up an unopened crab at a flea market. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, that crab brought her wonderful life as an immortal to an end.

He was Wuyou, the third son of the God of Wealth. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he was vain, arrogant, and a spoiled second-generation immortal. His life had always gone smoothly, free of worries, and he thought it would stay that way forever. Then one night, on a whim, he snuck into the Matchmaker Hall to see who was tied to him by the red string of fate. He never expected to be caught in the act and have his plans ruined. Even his own fate-thread was snipped in two by the pincers of the strange crab in the other person's hand...
The Flower Immortal Yunyan died in despair in his heart. Was he destined to spend his long immortal life alone? Overcome with sorrow at the thought, he fought back... and accidentally smashed the merit stele on the Merit Platform during the scuffle.
*
The two sworn enemies meet again in the mortal realm, with no memory of their past. She becomes Shi Zhongxuan's second disciple at the Fallen Immortal Sect. After rescuing a soft little bundle from a monster, she brings it back to the sect and decides to raise her newly acquired disciple properly.
"Wuyou, rub my legs."
"All right."
"Wuyou, fan me."
"All right."
"Wuyou, go offer incense."
"All right."
"Wuyou..."
"All right..."
The more she tries to raise this disciple, the more things seem to go awry. The boy grows more and more handsome, and the way he looks at her grows increasingly devoted. He already regards her as a goddess.

Monsters who pray for love, the fallen immortal Chi Jiu, the snake demon Rong Chi, the flower demon Yinghua... In the three thousand worlds of the mortal realm, there is love and affection, betrayal and deceit, parting and sorrow. Little by little, she comes to understand that sometimes going with the flow means steering into the wind, while changing one's fate can sometimes turn out to be exactly what fate intended. And not everything has to be bestowed by the Heavenly Dao to be right.
Is this roller-coaster of a story getting more and more off track...?
