The Sad Call of the Deer in the Empty Mountain

share time: 2025-12-24 00:31:30

Lin Xiaoman, a corporate slave, died from staying up late binge-watching a xianxia drama. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into Lu Ming—the "tragic little white flower" from an ancient novel—and bound to a glitchy "Counterattack System." To return to her original world, she must use her cultivation skills to solve absurd tasks in the modern city. But her first day goes sideways: she saves CEO Lu Zhaochuan from assassins with her flight ability, only to be called a "fraud." Trying to make money by alchemy, she blows up a neighbor aunt's health pot into a "fountain of immortal dew." And the cherry on top? The system orders her to WIN OVER Lu Zhaochuan! Juggling the system's "tricky missions" while hiding her cultivator identity, Lin Xiaoman bounces between "social death moments" and "counterattack highlights." But as she gets closer to Lu Zhaochuan, she uncovers his secret—he can see her spiritual root! A mismatched romance between an ancient cultivator and a modern CEO, plus the system's chaotic help, mixes humor and sweetness with twists: Is she chasing him, or has he been waiting for her all along?
