Guide to Raising a Sickly Evil Dragon

Shu Tiantian transmigrated into the body of a tragic white moonlight character in the novel The Revered Master Sees Me as a Substitute. For eighteen years, her consciousness was trapped inside her own body, forced to watch as her naive self was manipulated by fate. She knew her Revered Master, Red Cloud Immortal Lord, would soon return with a new disciple, Ling Ruoshui, who would replace her. She also knew she would be sent on a mission and killed by heretical cultivators on the road. Just before her scheduled death, Shu Tiantian suddenly regained control of her body. Instead of accepting her fate, she used a token from her master to bluff her attackers, then fled into the Abyss of Emptiness, a cursed land filled with heretical cultivators.

During her escape, Shu Tiantian was captured by Yuan Jingzhi, a Nascent Soul heretical cultivator who sought to use her Heavenly Yin Body as a cauldron for dual cultivation. This rare constitution allowed her to cure all ailments, including soul damage and shattered meridians, making her a walking panacea. Yuan Jingzhi imprisoned her in a temple near the Void Abyss. However, his plans were interrupted by the awakening of Ji Wushu, the Old Ancestor of the Void and the Sin Dragon. Ji Wushu, a being of immense power who had been sealed for two thousand years, slaughtered Yuan Jingzhi and his followers with ease. He discovered Shu Tiantian hiding under a bed and, intrigued by her presence, took her to his residence in the Black Valley.

Shu Tiantian found herself in the domain of the Sin Dragon, whose true form lay wounded and seemingly dead in a sea of Scarlet Flame Flowers. The flowers bloomed from his blood, burning everything they touched. Due to her Heavenly Yin Body, Shu Tiantian was immune to the flames. Believing the dragon to be dead, she treated its wounds and mourned it with flowers and incense. Unbeknownst to her, her contact with the dragon activated an ancient formation, binding them through a Heaven and Earth Contract. This contract prevented Ji Wushu from harming her, forcing the enraged demon to tolerate her presence.

Trapped in the Abyss of Emptiness with limited resources, Shu Tiantian struggled to survive. She possessed only a few spirit stones and a medicine box containing basic pills. Realizing she could not escape on her own, she ventured into the Black Valley market to gather information and send a message to her sect. Disguised with a veil hat, she used the Scarlet Flame Flowers as a weapon to deter attackers. She encountered Poisonous Woman and her son, who were suffering from miasma poisoning. Shu Tiantian saved the boy using a simple Heimlich maneuver and offered to refine high-grade Mind Cleansing Pills in exchange for an escort to the Transit Department.

While in the market, Shu Tiantian learned that the heretical cultivators in the Abyss were tasked with prolonging the blooming of the Scarlet Flame Flowers, which were linked to Ji Wushu’s life force. She also discovered that her capture was not accidental; Ling Ruoshui had leaked the secret of her Heavenly Yin Body to Yuan Jingzhi. Betrayed by the person she considered a junior sister, Shu Tiantian realized that returning to the Celestial Mystery Sect would be dangerous. Her master, Red Cloud Immortal Lord, had been distant and had allowed her to be sent on the fatal mission. Despite the pain of betrayal, Shu Tiantian remained determined to survive and find a way to reclaim her life, all while navigating the deadly politics of the Abyss and the unpredictable wrath of the Sin Dragon.

Back at the Celestial Mystery Sect, Red Cloud Immortal Lord was consumed by guilt and anger over Shu Tiantian’s disappearance. The awakening of Ji Wushu had shattered the sect’s protection arrays, causing backlash injuries to the master. He searched desperately for his disciple, unaware that she was alive and hiding in the heart of the Abyss. Ling Ruoshui, feigning sorrow, tried to comfort him, but her guilt and fear grew as she realized Yuan Jingzhi had died and Shu Tiantian might still be alive. The story unfolds as a tense struggle for survival in a hostile world, where Shu Tiantian must use her medical skills and wits to outmaneuver her enemies while dealing with the complex relationship with the demon she inadvertently bound.
