Gu Juexi’s face fell. ‘That damned woman.’ “You haven’t signed the papers,” the boy reminded as the man left. As usual, the door shut in his face. Good lord… Dad and mom are not getting a divorce and are giving him a baby brother? How worrying!

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back.

But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine.

He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Bei Yue Yue war eine selbstlose und sanftmütige Person. Danach wanderte sie aus und wurde zu "Huang Ying Yue", einem weiblichen Kanonenfutter, das in dem unsterblichen Roman, den sie gerade gelesen hat, für seine Bösartigkeit, Gnadenlosigkeit, Geilheit und Unmenschlichkeit bekannt ist und eine nymphomanische Persönlichkeit hat. In dem Roman hat die ursprüngliche "Huang Ying Yue" unzählige böse Taten begangen und damit viele der mächtigen Charaktere im Inneren beleidigt. Nicht nur die Heldin des Romans, sondern auch alle Männer im Harem der Heldin wurden von "ihr" auf unterschiedliche Weise physisch und psychisch belästigt und missbraucht. Der Weg zur Unsterblichkeit ist voll von Stacheln, Gefahren und unvorhersehbaren Bedrohungen. Überall wimmelt es von bösen Kultivatoren, Monstern und Dämonen. Auf dem Weg zur Unsterblichkeit müssen sich alle Kultivierenden zusammentun, um diese bösen Wesen zu vernichten. Bei dem Versuch, ihr Ziel zu erreichen, muss sich YueYue zahllosen mächtigen Feinden stellen, die "Huang Ying Yue" in der Vergangenheit beleidigt hat, sowie den Schulden, die "Huang Ying Yue" begangen hat. Gleichzeitig muss sie sich mit der eisbergschönen Heldin Huang Bai Xing auseinandersetzen, die von unzähligen schönen Männern und himmelstürmenden Reichtümern umgeben ist. Mit goldenen Fingern und der Liebe des Himmels erhielt Huang Bai Xing goldene Finger. Mit goldenen Fingern, Huang Bai Xing wuchs stärker von Tag zu Tag und warten auf die beste Gelegenheit, um "Huang Ying Yue" zu töten. Mächtige Leute, Huang Bai Xing's Männer, einer nach dem anderen nehmen ihre Waffen heraus, beabsichtigen zu töten und ihr eine schreckliche Lektion zu erteilen, weil "sie" ihre geliebte Frau verletzt hat. Glücklicherweise konnte sie mit der himmelstürmenden ätherischen kleinen Welt, die sie erhalten hatte, die spirituellen Pflanzen pflanzen, die spirituellen Früchte ernten, sich mit der reichhaltigen spirituellen Kraft kultivieren und die Zeit betrügen, indem sie mit dem spirituellen Wasserfall im Inneren des Raumes badete, während sie ihr "friedliches" Leben auf dem Weg der Unsterblichkeit weiterführte. Mit ihrer treuen Tierarmee machte sie sich auf den Weg der Kultivierung, um neue Menschen, Liebe, Freundschaft, Schwierigkeiten, Aufregung und eine geheimnisvolle Vergangenheit kennenzulernen, während sie ihr eigenes Schicksal und das aller Menschen um sie herum für eine bessere Zukunft veränderte. Unbewusst war ihr nicht einmal bewusst, dass sie aufgrund ihrer Persönlichkeit unzählige Pfirsichblüten anzieht, die ihr tristes Leben für immer verändern.
