Shen Shiqing, daughter of the late Grand Secretary, is the second young mistress of the Xie family of the Ning'an Marquisate. Everyone knows that she is taciturn, indifferent, and easily bullied. In the seventh year of her marriage, she was imprisoned in a Buddhist temple outside the city, and the Xie family forced her to ask for a divorce. Zhao Surui, the reigning emperor, whose reign title was Zhaode, ascended the throne at the age of sixteen. He waged war every year, launching northern and western expeditions, and was victorious in every battle. He was cruel to his subordinates and was a notorious tyrant known throughout the land. One day, Emperor Zhaode was in a fit of rage in the court and ordered the arrest and imprisonment of the civil officials who had submitted memorials to the emperor. In a moment of distraction, he found himself standing in front of a Buddha statue, and "he" was kneeling before the Buddha statue, being forced to recite the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues". Shen Shiqing, who was imprisoned, suddenly found herself standing in the main hall wearing a dragon robe, with her father-in-law kneeling in front of her. From then on, the second young mistress of the Ning'an Marquis's mansion became a notorious troublemaker who wreaked havoc in Yanjing. The reigning emperor, who was once known for his ruthlessness and warlike nature, has become even more unpredictable than before. In the quiet moments when no one knew, Shen Shiqing's smile was gentle: "Your Majesty kneels in the Buddhist hall for me, and I will pacify the eight directions for Your Majesty." The main story is complete. The epilogue can be read for free in the author's column, "Mountains and Rivers Reflect Their Own Light".

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The group members all addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," and their nicknames were filled with various titles like "Lord of a Palace," "Master of a Cave," "True Person," and "Celestial Master." Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years! Ugh, my worldview has completely shattered overnight!
