Xiang Ling, the precious blue star, cultivated for ten thousand years and finally faced her heavenly tribulation to ascend to the position of an Immortal. Unfortunately, her tribulation occurred the very night when the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Realm was undergoing Nirvana. While Xiang Ling passed her tribulation, the heavenly thunder disturbed Nirvana, and the Crown Prince failed to ascend. In her rage, the Heavenly Empress punished Xiang Ling and sent her to the Mortal Realm to face life tribulation. When Xiang Ling opened her eyes in the Mortal Realm, she found herself inside the body of an eighteen-year-old girl who shared the same name as hers. It didn't take long for Xiang Ling to realize just how harsh her punishment was. The original owner of the body was the only daughter of the County Magistrate of Dongzhi Province and was famous throughout the province for her shameless, unfilial, and overbearing attitude. She was known to create trouble for her parents and siblings. She was famous for bullying the young ladies and masters of other families. She tortured the servants. She regularly visited brothels, pawn shops, and other places where a girl should never go. But if all these weren't already enough, she was also famous for bullying her husbands. Right! Xiang Ling was married and not only to one man but to five men in total. Now, it was not only the entire province and her family that hated her, even her husbands despised her and wanted to get rid of her. Could Xiang Ling possibly survive in the Mortal Realm when every other person seemed to hate her to the core? * * * Warning: Mature content in the story!

In the heart of the Capital City, beneath the blanket of falling snow, the night market awakened. It was a bustling symphony of sights and sounds. Lanterns casted a warm glow, illuminating the flurry of activities on the streets. Fragrant steam rose from stalls, mingling with the crisp winter air, as vendors plied their wares with lively banter.
Amidst the delicate snowflakes dancing in the moonlight, the market became a tapestry of colors, from vibrant silks to gleaming jewels, each item holding beauty of its own.
While the night market of Dongzhi City was also lively, it came no where near the glamor of the Imperial City's night market. The latter was superior in every way possible.
"Can you sense your contracted beast?" Zhang Xuan asked as he and Xiang Ling checked out the items on a book stall. The latter had taken interest in the various romance best-sellers and was now excitedly looking through them to decide whether to purchase them or not.
