Shen Miaoqing, an immortal who had spent far too long in the Heavenly Realm, was thoroughly bored. So she used her tribulation as an excuse to head down to the mortal realm, where she joined a small sect and spent her days slacking off like a lazy fish.
While everyone else was working hard at cultivation, she was busy falling in love.
While everyone else was fighting over treasures in secret realms, she was busy falling in love.
While everyone else made great leaps in cultivation and ascended to the Immortal Realm, she... found someone new to fall in love with.

Shen Miaoqing soon noticed a problem.
Every one of her exes had ascended in the end, some after just three years, others after as many as ten.
The current one was even worse. One moment he was whispering sweet nothings to her, pouring out his heart. The next, he had overcome his inner demons, severed his ties to love, and ascended right on the spot.
Shen Miaoqing, still holding the ribbon from his hair: "..."
After moping for a few days, Shen Miaoqing took stock and decided to forget her exes for good. Before long, she had her eye on a handsome cultivator and embarked on a new romance.
As she and her new partner were enjoying a blissful love affair, she had no idea that her three exes were watching her flirt with him on a live broadcast from the Heavenly Realm, their faces dark with anger.
When Shen Miaoqing showered her new beau with sweet words,
Ex No. 1 gritted his teeth in resentment. "She used to say those same things to me."
When Shen Miaoqing and her new beau drank tea and played music together in perfect harmony,
Ex No. 2 crushed his teacup. "I composed that song for her!"
When Shen Miaoqing and her new beau drank together beneath the moon, determined not to stop until they were drunk,
Ex No. 3's eyes reddened. "I'm the one who brewed that wine..."
When Shen Miaoqing pushed her new beau down and the two of them tumbled into the bed curtains,
the priceless spirit mirror shattered at just the right moment beneath three overwhelming waves of fury.

Later, Shen Miaoqing woke up to the familiar gates of the Heavenly Realm and stared at them in confusion. "How did I ascend? I didn't want to ascend! Did someone make a mistake?"
The little immortal clerk was unfazed. "No mistake. Your old flames paid a fortune for an immortal pass for you. Besides, Fairy, hasn't this tribulation of yours gone on long enough?"
As she counted on her fingers, trying to figure out which old flame had done this "good" deed without taking credit, three familiar, powerful auras came rushing toward her at the same time.
Shen Miaoqing broke into a cold sweat. Could she still jump off the Execution Immortal Terrace?
Ex No. 1: "When did we ever break up?"
Ex No. 2: "Miaoqing, I only ascended. I didn't die."
Ex No. 3: "Heh. Just as I thought, you found someone new and forgot the old. What a heartless, fickle woman!"
By the time her new beau ascended too and came looking for her in the Heavenly Realm,
Shen Miaoqing shut her eyes and decided to lie flat for good. "I don't want to live anymore. Let me be reincarnated!"
A deliciously angsty, over-the-top love rivalry. Synopsis captured on 2024.10.23.
