Lu Ming's greatest good fortune in life was being taken in by Rong Ji and brought to Qingyun Sect.
At eight, Rong Ji taught her to read.
At twelve, Rong Ji taught her the basics of cultivation.
When she came of age, Rong Ji fastened a peach blossom hairpin in her hair.
At twenty, Rong Ji, the famed immortal who was on the verge of attaining the Great Dao, died in the heart of the Demonic Cult's stronghold. His body was pierced by Soul-Breaking Chains, his flesh ruined and his soul scattered. She never even got to see him one last time.
At the time, Lu Ming had just seized the world's greatest magical artifact, [Soul Severance], from the Netherworld Valley. She had wanted to help her master become an immortal, but instead she heard that he had sacrificed himself for the Dao.
Alone, Lu Ming took up the artifact and stormed the Demonic Cult's stronghold.
At twenty-one, Lu Ming severed her own meridians, using her three souls and seven spirits as a catalyst. She offered all her immortal cultivation to [Soul Severance], summoning her master's soul back.
You gave me my soul and my life. Now I shall summon your spirit and exchange it for your life.
The long-silent artifact trembled violently, and its radiant light flooded the heavens and earth.

When Lu Ming opened her eyes again, someone had slammed into her shoulder. Still confused, she instinctively chased after them to demand an explanation. But as soon as her hand touched their shoulder, the person turned their head impatiently.
A familiar face, breathtakingly beautiful. It was her master as a young man.
She was shocked and stunned, her mouth hanging open as she struggled to speak. She gestured for a while, and the young man seemed to misunderstand. He leaned in with a roguish air and said, "Hey, mute girl. Do you want money or your life? I don't have money, but you can have my life."
Wait, where the heck have I ended up?
Why is my master as a teenager a prickly, bad-tempered tsundere who never says what he means? Where's my elegant, cool, and dignified master, as bright and serene as the moon?
