Hua Xiangyun, a Celestial Master, had worked hard for years and finally managed to form a bond with the Nine Lotus Cauldron, the sect's treasured relic left behind by her grandmaster.
But something went wrong. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the troublesome younger sister-in-law in a novel set in a bygone era.
The original younger sister-in-law had been spoiled by her family since childhood and caused trouble at every turn. When her sister-in-law married into the family, she bullied her, and all the neighbors avoided her. As the villain of the book, she caused trouble from beginning to end, ultimately landing herself in jail.
Hua Xiangyun: "..."
Being a troublemaker is exhausting. Her experience in her previous life taught her that hard work doesn't always pay off, but not working hard is sure to bring happiness.
So she brought a little chair into the courtyard, basked in the sun, and munched on sunflower seeds while watching the drama unfold.
When she ran out of money, she set up a street stall to sell talismans. Once she'd made enough, she went home and got back to enjoying the gossip. What a lovely life.
Wait a minute, though. Why does the person gossiping with her across the way look so familiar?
