After transmigrating to another world for eight hundred years, Li Mufeng finally reached the sixth of the nine realms of immortal cultivation.
Not long after he emerged from seclusion, however, something happened in his sect, and he was saddled with an entirely baseless accusation.
With no other choice, he was forced to leave the sect. But just as he was settling into a quiet life, someone unexpected showed up at his door.
"Junior Sister, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to ask Senior Brother to honor our engagement."
"???" "But that was just a joke the sect master made when he was drunk."
"You don't want to honor it?"
"…"
With his junior sister's arrival, why has the quiet life he expected suddenly gone off the rails?
A demoness from the demonic sect with whom he has a tangled past, an innkeeper whose background is anything but simple, an imperial princess who's not quite right in the head, and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, with whom he once had a brief connection.
And even...
"May I ask why Your Majesty has summoned me in the dead of night?"
"Come closer, my dear subject. I have something to tell you."
"Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Surely Minister Li wouldn't want my daughter to find out you've spent the night in the imperial palace?"
"!!!"
(The nine realms of immortal cultivation: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deification, Void Refinement, Body Integration, Great Ascension, and Tribulation Transcendence.)
