What does life as a cultivator's descendant look like? Take Zhu Yao, for example: a father who died young, a mother who remarried, an empty shop, and a life of poverty.
Zhu Yao thought the greatest misfortune in life was to have a prosperous family in childhood, an empty household in youth, then have to shoulder every hardship alone as an adult.
That was until she met a group of plant spirits who had it even worse than she did.
The emperor tore out their hearts and livers. Demon hunters refined them into pills in furnaces. Wherever they went, they lived in fear, helpless and panicked, yet still gentle and kind. These little spirits barged into her life without warning.
That day, she heard a System notification: [Task: Save the plant spirits. Your Spiritual Plant Shop is about to level up.]
Zi Ge was royalty among the plant spirits, yet humans hunted him just like any other spirit. He had never enjoyed a single day of the treatment an emperor should receive.
He thought he would probably spend his whole life on the run. But then, on an utterly ordinary day, he wandered into a spiritual plant shop. Its shelves were bare, and its owner was a young woman who could dress up like Sadako.
The woman produced an employment contract and asked him pleasantly if he wanted to apply. To show her sincerity, she picked up a cleaver and helped him chop down the demon hunters who had come after him.
Something about this hiring process seemed a little off...
By the time he came to his senses, he had signed the contract. And once he signed, he was in for life.
