Mo Li has spent seventy years since transmigrating lying low.
A demonic beast, it takes shelter in a ruined courtyard on a stormy night and comes across three members of the Gu family, a grandfather and his two grandchildren, waiting to die.
It devours spiritual energy to cure their illness, gets bound to the Household Guardian System, and becomes the head of the Gu family.
Though, to be fair, it's just a cat.
From starting a spiritual cuisine business to taking disciples and growing the family.
From awakening spiritual roots to raising the first Nascent Soul cultivator.
Countless years later.
Countless cultivation families and sects have fallen, yet the Gu family still stands, in control of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
"Master, Gu Liyue is only in the early Nascent Soul stage. Why choose her as alliance leader?"
"See the cat in her arms?"
"I do."
"Thousands of years ago, the Gu family's founding ancestor held that same cat in their arms."
