In a world of martial arts, Lu Ye becomes a miscellaneous disciple of the Chiyun Sect, originally hoping to cultivate steadily and contribute to the sect's strength. Unexpectedly, Sect Master Chiyun Fairy accepts a great gift and promotes Lu Ye to an inner disciple, sending him off to marry into the Jiang family and wed Jiang Qingge. Soon after, Lu Ye's true identity is revealed as a miscellaneous disciple! However, the patriarch of the Jiang family is gravely injured and on the brink of death. To maintain the prestige of the Chiyun Sect, Jiang Qingge refuses Lu Ye's request to withdraw from the marriage. Fortunately, with Lu Ye comes the Wandao Pavilion in his mind, which hatches elixirs, techniques, martial skills, and even rare talents every ten days! From then on, Lu Ye cultivates steadily in the Jiang family, and everyone forgets about this new son-in-law, except for Jiang Lingyue, who occasionally comes to chat with Lu Ye.
Years later, chaos erupts throughout the Great Jing, with demons and monsters rising. The mountain gate of the Chiyun Sect is shattered, and countless disciples are killed or injured. In her moment of despair, Chiyun Fairy fights her way out and arrives outside the Jiang family in Yunye City, asking Lu Ye, whom she once sent off to marry, for help: “Lu Ye, I hope you can save the Chiyun Sect in the name of our past connection!” Looking at Jiang Qingge, who has completely submitted to him, Lu Ye replies indifferently, “If I had known it would come to this, why bother in the first place?”
“Sect Master, do I still resemble my former self?” A hint of sorrow appears on Chiyun Fairy's beautiful face. “If you are willing to help, I would be... your servant.” Lu Ye replies coldly with a smile, “You might as well find a mirror and ask yourself if you are worthy of the key.”
