I Reach the Summit of the Esoteric Sect with a Butcher's Knife

Ordinary girl Mu Ling swept through the occult world with nothing but a pig-slaughtering knife, then died alongside her greatest enemy.

Seventeen years later, Mu Ling crawls out of her coffin with no memories. All she wants is to look after her beloved nephew, arranging his schooling, job, marriage, and children, so he can live an ordinary life and she can fulfill the promise she made to an old friend.

But strange things keep happening.

Her gentle, refined nephew can make countless demons kneel with a single look, and says he only wants to marry her.

The cool guy next door unleashes a storm of lightning with one wave of his hand, claims he’s perfectly ordinary, and says they were made for each other.

The timid, tearful leader of the occult sect says he’s the one she swore to protect for her whole life.

Then there’s the great black dragon who lives in the deep sea and breathes fire, and the tree demon who runs around everywhere... They also leap out to say they were bound to her in a past life and want to continue their fate in this one.

Well, I’ll be. They’re taking advantage of my amnesia, all running up to me in tears and insisting they’re my husband.

Mu Ling is at a loss. “I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was distance. Fine, I’m done pretending. I’ll come clean.”

“I really do want to be an ordinary person,” Mu Ling says earnestly. “Why won’t any of you believe me?”

Everyone: “What in the world do you mean, ordinary person?”

Mu Ling: “I really am ordinary. I’m just a tiny bit stronger and a tiny bit faster than you.”

One-line synopsis: She takes down everyone with a pig-slaughtering knife and wins them over with sheer force. She’s determined to claim the top spot in the occult world.
