Trapped within the damaged walls of her mansion located in Yuchang City, Princess Cheng found herself confined alongside her grandmother, a fallen figure within the royal circle. The elder royal was placed under house arrest, accused of involvement in promoting illicit markets and fostering corruption within the realm. Xuan Cheng, residing in poverty alongside her grandmother and two aged attendants, was compelled to mature prematurely due to these circumstances. Motivated by a fierce will to escape poverty and make sure that no one could mistreat her, Xuan Cheng committed herself to learning a variety of trades and skills in order to support herself. Xuan Cheng was gifted with the ability to heal herself in addition to her grandfather's Seven Cultivation and grandmother's Jade Eyes. She immerses herself in her grandfather's collection of books and risks everything to cultivate fearlessly on her own. At night, she would go out and battle evil cultivators who would frequently obstruct her travel plans. She founded "Duyi Pharmacy" in order to aid the underprivileged and give back to the Almighty in the form of charitable donations. Xuan Cheng is a lone cultivator of Qi who exceeded the Tian Limit. In a world where the Evil Lord had eradicated factions and groups of cultivators, Xuan Cheng encountered someone akin to her: Prince Zhao Ming, the sole individual wielding demonic Qi across the entire Diqiu realm. They both had weaknesses that affected each other, but their unspoken love made them each other's pillars of strength. Betrayal by people they trusted brought them closer, forcing them to rely on each other even more. However, fate kept testing them with many challenges and trials.
"That Maid!" Emperor asked as he pointed his fingers at the guard Maid, "Yes, Your Majesty," She came forward trembling in fear and lowered her body, replying in a nearly inaudible tone.
"Speak whatever happened....and be honest," the emperor commanded furrowing his brows.
The maid glanced at Attendant Mo and then at the Empress, both of them appeared to be nodding to urge her. She took a deep breath and started explaining the whole situation. As she completed, she could feel the piercing gaze of the imperial noble consort but chose go ignore her.
She could have never gathered the courage to speak everything honestly, but then a fact gave her the strength and that was the rumor that whenever Prince Ming gets involved in any case, he never let anyone be wronged.
"Look what have you done! I had never seen you this hysterical before, what happened?" Emperor scolded her.
"That wench accused my brother and got him arrested for no reason," She cried.
