Because her fate left her with shallow ties to her family, Jiang Lai took up cultivation and became a Taoist priestess. Every day she followed her senior brothers in proper cultivation, drawing talismans, chanting incantations, and refining pills. When the incense offerings were scarce, she could still get by picking up recyclables.

Until one day, the evil silver tabby she'd raised for three years suddenly claimed to be her wife.

Taoist priestess Jiang Lai: Anything else? Hu Yu'an: Your golden tabby is our son. Adopted, picked up off the street.

Hu Tutu: *sob* Mother! Father and I missed you so much, ow!

Jiang Lai: I don't believe you. (Takes a deep breath.) (Where did these two monkeys come from?) (Look at this talisman!) (Kicks them flying.)

Life is unpredictable. Just like that, before long she had a "happy family"?

Taoist priestess Jiang Lai: You know, in our line of work, the biggest taboo is falling in love with something that isn't, human.

With a family, however makeshift, her career had to keep up. The whole family teamed up to solve cases and take off: the jumping-off-a-building-for-grad-school case, the rural teaching case, the apartment surveillance camera case... They fought monsters and blew their secret identities along the way. At the very moment she finally uncovered her true identity, Jiang Lai suddenly understood: So in our line of work, you can fall in love with anyone?!

If your lover turned into a homeless person, would you still want him?

Good news: He's not homeless. Bad news: He picks up recyclables.

Hu Yu'an, the fox clan's biggest hopeless romantic in the demon world, went down the mountain to buy tea snacks. When he returned, he found that his green tea spirit lover had been reincarnated as a poor Taoist priestess who loved picking up recyclables.

Hu Yu'an: ...I'll put up with it. A wash, and she's still worth keeping.

And so the usually reserved, B-king fox nobleman finally learned to make a move. (Obviously! If he didn't, he'd be single for the rest of his life, because Jiang Lai seems to love picking up recyclables even more in this life???

Hu Yu'an before: A man should be reserved. Hu Yu'an now: Miss Jiang, would you like a wife?

Hu Yu'an poses seductively: The weather's lovely today. He gazes at the sky at a 45-degree angle, showing off his beautiful jawline. Jiang Lai walks over and stops: Handsome, do you still want your water bottle?

Hu Yu'an: I don't want it anymore. And I don't want you anymore, either.

In summary: Laughs and tears go hand in hand. The heroine transforms from a Taoist priestess who picks up recyclables into a plant fairy. Running through the whole story is one woman's unwavering determination to do everything she can to save other women.

Theme: Girls help girls! Anyone who hurts girls, this Taoist priestess will kill you!
