There is a romance. I'm putting the important thing first.
He Miao transmigrated to an unfamiliar dynasty and spent every day holed up in a mountain ravine, rubbing her hands together as she waited to start her wonderful life in a farming novel.
One night, unable to get used to the rural latrine, she sneaked outside and ran into an old man. The old man was carrying a talking fox.
He Miao: "..."
Old man: "..."
Fox: "Can someone say something?"
He Miao was certain she'd transmigrated into some kind of cultivation world.
The old man took her back to his sect, where she became the fifth direct disciple of an elder at a cultivation sect.
He Miao decided to lie flat. She brewed herself a pot of immortal tea. It was time to start her laid-back retirement.
Who knew the tea hadn't even cooled yet when
her senior brother fell to demonic cultivation,
her second senior brother turned out to be a demon,
her master died,
her third senior brother went missing,
and her fourth senior brother betrayed them...
He Miao was nothing but a weakling at the third level of Qi Refining, yet she was forced to shoulder all the sect's belongings and flee down the mountain.
Before she left, her dying master pointed to the green mountain across from them. "Fifth, I once cast your fortune. Rebuilding the Azure Sea Pavilion will depend on you..."
He Miao hesitated. "Master, are you sure I can do it?"
Her master was on the brink of death, looking as if he wouldn't close his eyes unless she agreed.
With no choice, He Miao swore to Heaven, "I will rebuild the Azure Sea Pavilion in this life."
In her heart: She'd live for a little over a hundred years at Qi Refining anyway. Once she'd had enough, she'd die.
Her master's last words: "Fifth, you're fated to attract admirers. Take it easy."
He Miao, who had never been in a relationship: "? What a pleasant surprise."
Later, she really did become a sect powerhouse and rebuild the Azure Sea Pavilion.
And she finally understood what it meant to be fated to attract admirers.
