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.
"Huh?" Xuan Cheng blinked and then her eyes opened again in her bedroom. She saw how Maid Qu was looking at her weirdly. "What's wrong?" she asked in a puzzled tone.
"Your Highness said that you were hurt...?" Maid Qu replied, still shocked as before.
"Am I not?" Xuan Cheng could not understand her and questioned confused. "But Her Highness, you said as if you were some other person speaking about yourself." Maid Qu said in a manner that made it more complicated.
"What?" Xuan Cheng exclaimed. She could not figure out what Maid Qu was trying to explain. She shook her head and then commanded her, "Prepare for my bath."
Maid Qu blamed herself for speaking too much and annoying her sick master. "Yes, Your Highness," she bowed her head and lift the room.

Sitting at the left side of partition, Zhao Ming was reading a scroll to take his mind off the matter of his uncle Zheng.
