Synopsis
The carefree deity Jiang Ci entered the mortal world to undergo her tribulation, but took the wrong designated passage and plunged into the sea after her divine powers failed.
After swimming ashore with all her might, she discovered that the person she had to help through the tribulation was named Ping An, afflicted by the Five Evils and Three Deficiencies, and only ten years old. To avoid having Heaven erase her divine status and send her into the cycle of reincarnation, she gritted her teeth and swore she would succeed!
The road to completing her tribulation was long and arduous. The first step was keeping her tribulation target safe.
A Guduiao tried to eat Ping An, so she snatched him right out of its beak and rewarded it with two slaps. The sword spirit was too proud to acknowledge a master? One slap. A wicked crow picked a fight? Another slap. The fearsome-faced Divine Lord Cang Xuan, said to exist beyond the Three Realms, suddenly appeared with some inscrutable intention? Well... that one was beyond her reach.
The first time Jiang Ci met Cang Xuan, the predatory certainty in his gaze really did leave her struggling to breathe. The second time was at the Ruins of Cangling, where he took Ping An away for no reason other than to see her again. Jiang Ci did not want to get entangled with him, so she continued her tribulation.
The second step: join the Xuanji Sect, learn to read and practice cultivation.
Jiang Ci earned the position of honorary elder through her own strength and began teaching her disciple to read. Ping An shed his foolish, dull manner and stayed by her side, caring for her in every way. In less than three months, he could recite "Fuke" and had proved himself a cultivation prodigy!
But the older he grew, the more he looked like Cang Xuan.
The third step? There was no third step. Jiang Ci failed her tribulation and lost one hundred thousand merit points. She also happened to recall a brief romance: she had been Cang Xuan's deceased wife? And the second piece of bad news: Ping An was Cang Xuan!
To calm his soul, Cang Xuan entered the mortal world under the alias Ping An. On the anniversary of his wife's death, while mourning at her grave, he was summoned by a subordinate to clean up a mess. At one glance, he recognized Jiang Ci, his wife who had been dead for more than four thousand years.
The good news: he had found his dead love, and she was still alive! The bad news: she had forgotten everything!
Cang Xuan resented Jiang Ci for leaving him alone for thousands of years, yet still went scampering after her.
He kept pretending to be Ping An to create chances for them to be alone. Behind her back, he quietly warned the junior disciple who wrote her love letters, made her breakfast with his own hands, snuck into her bed, and engineered little touches whenever he could.
Step by step, he secured his place in her heart, winning her over through subtle persistence. But...
Why had Divine Lord Dixiu of the Shangqing Realm suddenly come to Jiang Ci's room in the middle of the night?
Why had the Demon King given her a token the first time they met?
This newly ascended Martial God Zhao might be her colleague, but he could not be ignored.
And besides all that, he had to watch out for the fox spirit who had appeared out of nowhere!
Cang Xuan was aggrieved. Jiang Ci, just how many brief romances have you had?!
Next up: "Rare Footage of the Eldest Senior Sister in Her Early Years." Please add it to your reading list!
The story begins when three junior disciples accidentally find a recording stone. When they open their eyes again, they are two hundred years in the past!
At that time, the sect's reputation was at a turning point. Shen Che, Sect Master of the Xuanqing Sect, fought the demoness Su Li. Shen Che killed Su Li, and the Xuanqing Sect became famous after that battle!
When the three disciples saw the supposedly wicked demoness walk up to them, they finally realized how serious the situation was.
Wasn't this the eldest senior sister who perfected the Heartless Dao and ascended to immortality, the only one in the Xuanqing Sect to do so?
Then they turned around and saw their sect master lying in the demoness's bed, completely at her mercy.
For the sake of the Xuanqing Sect's reputation, the three disciples had no choice but to embark on the long road to saving their sect.
Su Li had gone hungry and unclothed since childhood. Shen Che was the one who led her onto the path of cultivation and the Heartless Dao, and she was grateful to him.
He protected and taught her. Later, he could scold, resent, or hate her all he wanted. He just could not ignore her.
She slew demon beasts to raise her cultivation, followed his wishes and practiced the Heartless Dao, and braved death and danger for his sake.
In the end, Shen Che avoided her like the plague, wishing he could drive her out of the Xuanqing Sect. He was even willing to sacrifice his life to cripple her cultivation.
But why did he keep saving her, again and again, in the freezing cold?
As she sank into the bone-chilling lake, her vision growing hazier by the moment, Su Li thought that she had never been able to understand Shen Che in this lifetime.
