"When I found you, the sun found me." ~ It has been 2000 years since Runyu's ascension to the Heavenly Throne. Citizens of the Six Realms are beginning to question the Heavenly Emperor's ability to cope with both Heaven's affairs and his old duties as the Night Immortal, which he refuses to give up. Unwilling to crown a Heavenly Empress and scornful at the idea of taking a consort who can bear him a successor, the cold and contemptuous silver dragon has no other choice but to begrudgingly request the help of the lovely Light Immortal, Juying. Astute, charming, and an absolute sweetheart. The sparkling jewel of heaven. Or so they say. Runyu reserves his suspicions of what might lurk under the Light Immortal's whimsical, exuberant persona and the warm, enchanting smile she keeps turned to the world. Perhaps the calculating and ruthless emperor might have finally met his match... Manipulate, or be manipulated. To bestow favour, or to callously punish. Trust in her innocence, or realize her insolence. In a court of hypocrisy and cruel mind games, and a Light and Night Immortal as disparate as Yin and Yang at the centre of it all, the non-refundable cost of admissions is a heart. Winner takes all, and the loser only makes one mistake. Who shall bear the catastrophic consequences?

Transmigrated as the cannon fodder, she rewrites destiny through sheer academic grind! I Rely on Studying to Cultivate Immortality Xie Bing only realized she had transmigrated into a novel after her soul left her body: Her cold, upright master had long since succumbed to his inner demons. He raised Xie Bing-a so-called "tr*sh spiritual root"-only to refine her for pills later. The junior brother Xie Bing carefully raised fell in love with the female lead, Xuan Yao. To save said female lead, this junior brother stole Xie Bing's inner core with his own hands. Then he casually said: "Senior Sister, you only lost your cultivation core... but Xuan Yao lost her love." (Neidan) The immortal realm bigshot who's been entangled with the Xuan Yao for thousands of years, breaking up and getting back together with the female lead countless times-turns out he was Xie Bing's fiancé before he ascended to the immortal realm. His method of becoming immortal? Slay his wife (Xie Bing) as hi Dao manifest. Facing this hellish melodrama, the reborn "tr*sh spiritual root" Xie Bing quietly pulls out box after box of rare tomes from her spatial storage. Every time she masters one book and passes a test, her cultivation rises by another level. The rest of the cast-obsessed with love triangles, angst, and drama-stare in shock: "Xie Bing, you've changed!" Xie Bing, dark circles under her eyes, clutching her books: "I love studying. Studying makes me happy."
