After more than a decade of neglect, just as she was about to reach the age of maturity, the Xie family brought Xie Lan home, demanding she repay the family's kindness.Show more

They originally thought Xie Lan was an uneducated country bumpkin who would be easy to manipulate, but to their surprise, she was skilled in the occult—and a famous immortal maiden at that! Her biased grandmother tried to force her to make money for the Xie family. Xie Lan calculated with her fingers: "Grandmother, you are destined to have no wealth. You must donate all your coffin money, otherwise, you will suffer broken limbs." Her white-lotus stepsister wanted to rely on her to marry into a high-ranking family. Xie Lan: "Sister, you have the fate of a sparrow; you can only break this curse by marrying an old man as a concubine." Her hypocritical stepmother wanted to marry her off to the idiot son of a princess. Xie Lan: "Looking at your physiognomy, you are destined to marry again." With a flick of her wrist, she sent the stepmother to the princess as a daughter-in-law instead. Her cold and incompetent father wanted to offer her to a powerful official in exchange for promotions and wealth. Xie Lan: "Father, the path of officialdom is perilous. Only by returning to your hometown to be a grave keeper can you preserve your life." As for the scheming second and third uncles, Xie Lan sold them to the Nanfeng Pavilion to share a loving bond with the male courtesans. The weather grew cold, and the Xie family was finished. Yet Xie Lan was not yet satisfied, her grip firm: "Let me calculate... which family should I tear down next?" The nobles of the capital trembled in fear facing Xie Lan's violent metaphysics. Xiao Jin, who had always been by Xie Lan's side, suddenly spoke: "Junior Sister, exposing secrets everywhere is truly exhausting. Tell me whose secrets you want to dig up next, and I will help you." Xie Lan looked on in shock. It turned out that Young Master Xiao—who had always been by her side, stingy and seemingly useless—was actually the ruthless, "pig eating the tiger," and legendary Senior Brother?
