Yu Qing was originally a small peony flower fairy cultivated in the Li Jing Immortal Palace under the exclusive care of Qing Ci Di Zun, the last ancient deity. When the Emperor’s immortal soul was shattered and his fragments scattered across three thousand minor worlds, a system named Little Milk Candy bound itself to Yu Qing, tasking her with collecting these fragments to awaken him. Her first mission took her into a modern mortal world, where she inhabited the body of a twenty-year-old fake young miss who had attempted suicide after being confronted with the return of the true heiress, Bai Jiao Jiao.
In this new reality, Yu Qing learned that the Emperor’s soul fragment resided within Xie Qing Ci, the ascetic head of the powerful Xie family and the second uncle of her former fiancé. To retrieve the fragment, she needed to raise his favorability to one hundred percent. Yu Qing quickly distanced herself from the original host’s volatile temperament, mending her relationship with her adoptive parents and reconciling with Bai Jiao Jiao. She also successfully terminated her engagement to Xie Yunzheng, a scholar indifferent to marriage, which cleared the path for her interactions with Xie Qing Ci.
Their first meeting occurred at a hospital, where Xie Qing Ci, known as the Abstinent Buddha for his cold demeanor and devotion to Buddhist prayer beads, felt an inexplicable and violent pull toward the fragile girl. Despite his usual restraint, he found himself unable to look away from her. The dynamic shifted further when Yu Qing attended an auction, where Xie Qing Ci summoned her to his private VIP lounge. There, he abandoned his composed facade, offering her expensive jewelry and displaying a possessive tenderness that shocked both Yu Qing and the observing system. He began to refer to her with intimate nicknames, and their interactions grew increasingly physical and emotionally charged.
A critical turning point occurred when Yu Qing accidentally revealed her celestial identity as a flower fairy while playing with Xie Qing Ci’s prayer beads. This breach of heavenly law triggered a severe punishment, causing her body to collapse into a coma. Xie Qing Ci, devastated by her sudden unconsciousness, neglected his duties and spent days and nights at her hospital bedside. In a gesture of desperate devotion, he knelt for the entire thousand-plus step ascent to Compassion Temple, praying for her recovery. The temple’s abbot gifted him a peace talisman, predicting her awakening.
Yu Qing eventually regained consciousness and was moved to the Xie family ancestral residence for recuperation. There, she lived a peaceful life reminiscent of her time in the immortal palace, surrounded by Xie Qing Ci’s attentive care. The system reported that Xie Qing Ci’s favorability had reached seventy percent, indicating significant progress. Meanwhile, the subplot involving Bai Jiao Jiao and the ruthless Gu Yu Bai remained unresolved, with the two rekindling their complicated relationship after the debt was repaid. Yu Qing continued her mission, navigating the delicate balance between her divine origins and her growing attachment to the man who had become her focus in this mortal realm.
