A cracked mirror yanks poor village girl Li Yan Er out of death—and links her to Gu Shi Yi, a sharp-tongued “best friend” on the other side who refuses to let her soul disperse.
Raised by a slippery old Daoist, Gu Shi Yi drags Li Yan Er into the cultivation world through its loopholes: a stopgap clay body that drinks moonlight, a stubborn spirit tree that insists on being called Da Wang, and a mirror bond that turns overheard intel and scavenged techniques into real power. Their first goal is urgent and practical—get Li Yan Er a true body before roaming cultivators, hungry demons, and greedy sects smell the cheat—but every step up exposes uglier rules: righteous clans harvesting mortals for pills, “holy” mountains built on buried Devil remains, and dual-cultivation arts that consume partners like fuel. To survive, the two women run cons, steal chances, and pick fights that snowball into realm-level wars—until their climb crowns them with titles no one can refuse. Expect ruthless cultivation hustle, razor-edged comedy, and besties who will burn the system down together.
