Li Song'er was born in a time of national peace and prosperity. She was the daughter of the Eldest Princess, but her mother had an unhappy marriage. Li Song'er’s father left without a word when she was still a child. Because of this, the Eldest Princess was extremely strict about choosing a husband for her daughter. When Li Song'er grew up, she became very beautiful, but the Eldest Princess turned away every suitor who came to propose.

Later, Li Song'er founded Ningxiang House, the most famous fragrance shop in Zuimeng City. However, her business didn't go well, and something very strange happened. One day, Li Song'er encountered a strange old man on the road. He gave her a storybook titled Supreme Tyrant. Li Song'er found it baffling. That night, back at her residence, she had her maid Qian read it to her.

But the story was all about fighting, which she had no interest in—until she heard the name “Ningxiang House.” To her shock, in the book, Ningxiang House was actually a brothel. Li Song'er was furious. Just then, an assassin broke into the courtyard. In a panic, Li Song'er used some Bewitching Incense. Unexpectedly, everyone present, including herself, was knocked out by the incense.

In Chiqian City, at Xiaoyao Ridge’s Sun and Moon Palace, the palace master Gu Yuan was engaged in a battle with members of other sects, just as it had been described in the book. None of the other sect members were a match for Gu Yuan; all were defeated by him. Nan Chuimeng was a flirtatious man with no martial arts skills. He tried to slip away but couldn’t escape Gu Yuan’s tracking.

At that very moment, Li Song'er suddenly fell from the sky, giving Nan Chuimeng the opportunity to flee. Gu Yuan used his lightness skills to catch Li Song'er. Seeing the three-colored bracelet she wore, Gu Yuan mistakenly thought she was Chu Mengdie, since the bracelet was her signature item. Gu Yuan and Nan Chuimeng were both rivals and enemies. So Gu Yuan decided to use Li Song'er to locate Nan Chuimeng.

Li Song'er was nearly buried alive by Gu Yuan and his attendant, but she was clever. Though she didn’t know how she had ended up there, after listening to Gu Yuan’s conversation with his attendant, she realized the situation matched the story in the book. She then lied, claiming she knew Nan Chuimeng’s whereabouts, and managed to save her own life.

Gu Yuan decided to deliberately let Li Song'er go and ordered his men to follow her, hoping to track down Nan Chuimeng’s location. Since Chu Mengdie and Nan Chuimeng were about to get married, she was sure to know where her future husband was. But what Gu Yuan didn’t expect was that Li Song'er was so clumsy. Even when he intentionally gave her a chance to escape, she ended up falling from the roof directly into his bath.

Gu Yuan was speechless and had to personally point out an escape route for her, assigning an attendant to follow her to prevent any mishaps. After leaving the Sun and Moon Palace, Li Song'er was recognized on the road by one of the girls from Ningxiang House. That girl also identified her as Chu Mengdie because of the three-colored bracelet.

Li Song'er simply decided to temporarily use Chu Mengdie’s identity and lied that she had come to Ningxiang House to choose concubines for her husband, to ensure the continuation of their bloodline. Thus, she entered Ningxiang House. Li Song'er went there partly to take advantage of Chu Mengdie’s identity for free food and drink. But the meal turned out to be anything but easy.

She had a chance to slip away but was stopped and forced to perform martial arts in front of everyone. Nan Chuimeng happened to be there too. Since he had never seen this fiancée from an arranged marriage, he decided it was a good opportunity to check her out. Unexpectedly, Li Song'er knew nothing at all. She had no choice but to flail around awkwardly on stage. When she saw someone seemed to be rushing toward her to catch her, she publicly pointed at Gu Yuan to create a chance to escape.

Gu Yuan was seen as a ruthless demon lord who killed without blinking an eye, but when he was young, he didn't even dare to touch a sword. His father patiently taught him martial arts but never warned him about how treacherous people in the martial world could be. Later, his father died under the sword of a friend, and his mother took Gu Yuan into hiding, living under assumed identities, trying to stay far away from worldly conflicts.

However, those in the martial world did not leave them alone. Those who wanted to steal the Xiaoyao Manual nearly wiped them out. Gu Yuan witnessed his mother being killed with his own eyes. That was the first time he smelled blood—it was the final scent of his family. Ever since, Gu Yuan only felt peace and happiness when holding a sword. Li Song'er still failed to escape. This time, Nan Chuimeng was also captured.

Gu Yuan threatened the two of them, saying he would bury them alive together. Li Song'er revealed her true identity, knowing Gu Yuan might not believe her, but she had no choice—after all, she wasn’t Chu Mengdie, and didn’t even know how to make up a convincing lie. Gu Yuan took them back to the Sun and Moon Palace, where Li Song'er was locked up in the dungeon and guarded by Hanyan.

Li Song'er noticed that Hanyan was reading a romance storybook, so she deliberately tried to befriend her, claiming that she knew the author and could invite them to her residence, and that she also wanted to find out what happened in the next volume. This time, Li Song'er was a bit smarter—she knew how to play to someone’s interests. She took the opportunity to knock Hanyan out with Bewitching Incense, stole the keys from her, and escaped the cell.

Wearing Hanyan’s clothes, Li Song'er accidentally entered a forbidden area and was rendered unconscious by toxic mist. When Li Song'er woke up, she began hallucinating and saw her mother. Gu Yuan had already arrived by then, having been informed by Hanyan, and came to search for Li Song'er. He discovered that she was experiencing hallucinations and had to quickly take her away, otherwise her life would be at risk.

At one point, Li Song'er even mistook Gu Yuan for a Goubuli bun and lunged forward to kiss him. Gu Yuan struck an acupoint to knock her out and took her to a mountain cave. When Li Song'er regained consciousness, she recalled kissing Gu Yuan and wished she could disappear into the ground out of embarrassment. She saw Gu Yuan lying motionless and planned to sneak away, but he grabbed her by the foot.

Gu Yuan was having a cold poison attack and asked Li Song'er to collect herbs for him. This was the condition for her to leave the place—otherwise, there was no way for her to get out. With no other choice, Li Song'er agreed. Following Gu Yuan’s instructions, she drew blood from his back and applied the herbal remedy. Afterward, he passed out. When Gu Yuan woke up from a nightmare, he found Li Song'er roasting fish.

She was trying to replenish his nutrition, but one glance at the fish told him it would be hard to eat, so he handed it back to her. Li Song'er misunderstood, thinking he was being guarded against her, and deliberately tried to annoy him by claiming the fish was hers. After taking a bite, she immediately spat it out—it was far worse than she had imagined. Gu Yuan kept his word and let Li Song'er go.

He told her that if she ever ran into trouble in the future, she could come find him at Wind Whisper Valley. Li Song'er finally escaped, but she still couldn’t return to her original world. Later, when she went to a place to bathe, she again encountered the old man who had previously given her the storybook. The old man said another strange thing: he claimed Li Song'er was originally male.

Then Li Song'er's voice suddenly turned into that of a man’s. The old man also provided a solution—she had to defeat the vicious people she had encountered recently, and then she would be able to return to her original world. Li Song'er realized that the person referred to was Gu Yuan. Remembering that Gu Yuan had mentioned Wind Whisper Valley, she decided to go there and find him.

Gu Yuan had been secretly searching for Nan Chuimeng’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, Li Song'er was also on her way to Wind Whisper Valley. Gu Yuan received news that someone was planning to assassinate Chu Mengdie, so he sent people to secretly protect her. However, they were a step too late—by the time they arrived at the scene, Chu Mengdie was already dead. On her journey, Li Song'er had encountered their wedding sedan and was following behind.

Witnessing the murder frightened her so much that she shut her eyes and ran forward, kneeling before the "hero" and begging for mercy. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Gu Yuan, she was finally at ease. With Chu Mengdie dead, Gu Yuan had a new idea. After all, no one had ever seen Chu Mengdie’s true face. So he negotiated with Li Song'er: if she agreed to impersonate Chu Mengdie, he would give her the antidote.

Li Song'er recalled the words of the old man and believed that as long as she could stay by Gu Yuan’s side and find a chance to eliminate him, she could return to her original world. Disguised as Nan Chuimeng, Gu Yuan brought the fake Chu Mengdie with him to Wind Whisper Valley. Their senior, Zhou Hang, welcomed them. Since it had been over twenty years, Zhou Hang didn’t realize that the person before him wasn’t truly his junior.

Though Zhou Hang didn’t suspect their identities, the deeply calculating Uncle Bai began to subtly test Nan Chuimeng. Fortunately, Gu Yuan had done his homework in advance and casually mentioned details about Nan Chuimeng’s childhood. Uncle Bai pretended to unintentionally glance at a burn scar on Gu Yuan’s arm, but Gu Yuan was prepared for this and didn’t let anything slip. Uncle Bai was currently acting sect leader.

Li Song'er deliberately addressed him as “Acting Sect Leader,” which infuriated him—he thought her emotional intelligence was extremely low. Uncle Bai had originally prepared a welcome banquet for them, but Gu Yuan, worried that Li Song'er might act unpredictably, carried her away under the pretense that she was exhausted from the journey and needed rest. Li Song'er had no choice but to cooperate with Gu Yuan for the time being. The real Chu Mengdie was not dead.

Though seriously wounded, she was hiding in a thatched hut to recover. Assassins soon arrived, but fortunately, Baili Xingchen, who was traveling the martial world, arrived in time and took them out. After briefly encountering Chu Mengdie, he said nothing and left. Chu Mengdie desired the Xiaoyao Manual, but along the way, someone had tried to kill her again and again. It became clear that obtaining the Xiaoyao Manual would not be easy, so she decided to find another path.

Li Song'er had Han Yan purchase a large amount of rouge and makeup products, which raised suspicion among Uncle Bai’s people, since everyone knew Chu Mengdie disliked such vulgar powders. Acting under his master’s orders, Zhou Hang deliberately went to check Nan Chuimeng’s room. Fortunately, Gu Yuan had already foreseen this problem and worked out a plan with Li Song'er.

The two of them put on an act in front of Zhou Hang, with Li Song'er claiming this was a popular martial arts training method in the martial world. They thought they had fooled Zhou Hang, not realizing that he too was deeply cunning. He decided to send people to investigate whether such a training method truly existed. In fact, it was he who had sent the very first group earlier, and now his subordinates feared the matter would be exposed and discovered by Nan Chuimeng.
