Fu Ziqi, the Grand National Teacher of Changli who was forced to sacrifice herself to protect the nation, awakens in the body of a simple-minded girl in the modern world. Fragmented memories flood her mind, revealing that this body belongs to the second miss of the Fu family, a family from the Ancient Martial World. Before she can fully process her situation, a housekeeper sent by the Fu family tries to forcefully take her back. Fu Ziqi instinctively fights back, incapacitating the bodyguard with a single kick despite her lost cultivation. The housekeeper is shocked to find that Fu Ziqi is no longer stupid. Fu Ziqi uses her Word Spirit Technique, a divine ability from her previous life, to curse the bodyguard with a grim fate. A large golden retriever suddenly appears, chasing the housekeeper away. Fu Ziqi observes the scene with amusement and calls the police, pretending to be an innocent passerby.
The dog, named Marshal, takes a liking to Fu Ziqi. Its owner, Yan Zhaoming, arrives and is astonished to see Marshal so docile with a stranger. Suddenly, Fu Ziqi coughs up blood, the backlash from using the Word Spirit Technique with her weakened body. Yan Jiuxian, Yan Zhaoming’s uncle, appears. He is a tall, refined man in a traditional long gown, with a cold and elegant aura. He takes Fu Ziqi’s pulse and diagnoses internal exhaustion from overexertion of the brain. Despite her protests, he carries her to his clinic in an upscale villa district. There, he gives her a pill that calms her symptoms, explaining that it is a Soul-Stabilizing Pill. He offers the entire bottle to her for free, claiming it is a random act of kindness. Fu Ziqi accepts the medicine, introducing herself before leaving. Yan Zhaoming is astounded by his uncle’s generosity, knowing how precious the pill is.
After Fu Ziqi leaves, Yan Zhaoming browses the Ancient Martial World forum and sees breaking news: Fu Qiongshuang, the eldest miss of the Fu family, has broken through to the late stage of the Profound Rank. He discusses this with Yan Jiuxian, mentioning that some people compare Fu Qiongshuang’s talent to Yan Jiuxian’s. Yan Jiuxian coldly dismisses this. Yan Zhaoming recalls that the Grand Elder once said Yan Jiuxian and the Fu family’s daughter have a heaven-decreed marriage. Yan Jiuxian corrects him, saying it is the daughter of the Fu family, not specifically Fu Qiongshuang. Yan Zhaoming is puzzled but does not press further.
Fu Ziqi returns to her residence, where Aunt Tao, the nanny who raised her, embraces her with relief. Aunt Tao had feared the Fu family would take Fu Ziqi away. Fu Ziqi comforts her, and Aunt Tao is overjoyed to realize that Fu Ziqi is no longer simple-minded, having been mentally slow for twenty years. Fu Ziqi assures her that she is fine now. Aunt Tao excitedly goes to cook for her.
Alone, Fu Ziqi sorts through her situation. She discovers that over eighteen hundred years have passed since her death. She looks up Changli and finds that the dynasty was destroyed only ten years after she died, taking with it those who sacrificed her. She finds it ironic but feels no attachment. Her current body is the second daughter of the Fu family, a declining Ancient Martial family. The family sent the housekeeper to bring her back, likely for political reasons. Fu Ziqi decides to stay with Aunt Tao for now. Her cultivation is gone, but her Word Spirit Technique remains, though weakened. She knows she must recover her strength and find a place in this new world. The connection with Yan Jiuxian and the Ancient Martial World hints at larger conflicts ahead, but for now, she focuses on survival.
Fu Ziqi’s awakening marks the beginning of her journey in a modern world filled with ancient martial arts, hidden powers, and unseen dangers. The Fu family’s intentions remain unclear, but she is determined to control her own fate. Her interaction with Yan Jiuxian, a mysterious and powerful figure, establishes a crucial alliance. The story sets up Fu Ziqi’s growth from a disgraced daughter to a woman who wields ancient power in a new era, with the backdrop of the Ancient Martial World’s politics and the lingering shadow of her past life.

Overall, this is a solid start for a reincarnation face-slapping novel. It knows exactly what its audience wants: a strong female lead, a mysterious powerful male, and a bunch of evil relatives to stomp on. The writing is rough around the edges, but the world has potential. If the author focuses on character growth and doesn’t rely on coincidences, this could be a fun ride.
The biggest weakness so far is the lack of consequences. Fu Ziqi curses a guard, a dog attacks a woman, she walks into a stranger’s clinic and gets a magical pill—and nobody questions her or tries to stop her. The mundane world just watches. Even the police she called don’t appear. It feels like she’s playing a game with no rules. I need some realism in the reactions of side characters.
The reading experience is pretty addictive. The chapters are short and punchy, and each one ends with a mini-cliffhanger. After Fu Ziqi takes the pill and leaves, I immediately wanted to know what happens with Yan Jiuxian and his hidden agenda. I’d probably binge this if I had more chapters. The flaws are obvious, but the entertainment value is high.
There’s something about the name “Fu Ziqi” that sticks. It’s not a super common name in fiction. And the character pronunciation note at the end (“Fu Ziqi(qī)”) makes me think the author is trying hard to make sure we read it right. I appreciate the effort, but it also feels like an overcorrection. Readers can figure it out from context.
