Miao Yunyou is the leader of the demon cult, a modern person who transmigrated into a wuxia world three years ago. She has zero combat power but possesses the world's best lightness skill. Her closest subordinates are Right Protector Chu Ning Shuang, a doctor, and Left Protector Luo Xinglan, a cold and skilled fighter. When righteous factions launch a full-scale assault on the mountain, Miao Yunyou refuses to escape. Just as Chu Ning Shuang and Luo Xinglan prepare to force her through a secret passage, a thunderclap freezes time. A child calling himself Little Sky Classmate appears, apologizing on behalf of the Heavenly Dao for accidentally transmigrating her. As compensation for the three years lost, Little Sky Classmate sends the entire mountain and all its inhabitants to Miao Yunyou's original modern world. He also equips every room with modern bathrooms, complete with toilets, showers, washing machines, and supplies.

After the time freeze ends, Miao Yunyou tries to explain the truth to her followers, but they dismiss her words as nonsense. To prove it, she shows them the compartment bathrooms, but the ancient people consider them wasteful, worrying about losing manure for farming and pig food. An Ning, a young man with silver-gray hair and purple eyes, speaks for the group, saying people like him will never be accepted by the world anywhere. Miao Yunyou assures them they are beautiful but understands their reluctance.

Miao Yunyou later takes Luo Xinglan down the mountain to experience the modern city. She buys a used mobile phone and treats Luo Xinglan to malatang and Fanta. Over the meal, Miao Yunyou explains that she grew up in an orphanage and has a foster sister named Zhang Mo, a successful programmer who sends her money monthly. Luo Xinglan questions if Miao Yunyou will return, but Miao Yunyou insists the money is a loan and expects the cult members to help her repay it.

During the meal, Luo Xinglan mentions a mint candy. A flashback reveals that years ago, Luo Xinglan was a child with a loving family. An assassin organization killed her family and abducted her because of her rare talent. For ten years, she endured brutal training, then was forced into a battle royale on a desert island where she killed her companions to survive. After slaughtering the organization, she was left dying under a tree. Miao Yunyou found her, fed her the last mint candy, and saved her life. That sweetness gave Luo Xinglan the will to live.

Luo Xinglan tells Miao Yunyou she can stay in the modern world, where there is no war and she has family, without dragging the cult down. Miao Yunyou angrily refuses, saying she expects them to support her. Luo Xinglan agrees. Miao Yunyou then plans to visit her sister and formulate a money-making plan for the cult.

The story follows Miao Yunyou's forced transmigration, her three years as the demon cult leader, and her eventual return to the modern world with her entire cult. The core conflict shifts from survival against the righteous factions to adapting to a new world while maintaining their bond. The protagonist's goal is to ensure her followers adjust and to repay her sister's loan, relying on the cult's loyalty and her own resourcefulness. The ending shows the group facing a future of unity and economic independence, with Miao Yunyou firmly at the center of their lives.

This novel feels like a love letter to the isekai genre but also a parody of it. You have the transmigration, the found family, a protagonist with a funny special skill (lightness skill only), and a supportive system-like entity. But it subverts expectations by bringing the ancient setup to modern times instead of the other way around. The humor is self-aware, the emotional beats land, and the characters are distinct. I'd totally read more to see how the cult adapts to modern life, and whether Miao Yunyou will ever reunite with her sister.

I'm curious about the overarching plot. So far it seems like the conflict with righteous sects is over (they were knocked out by lightning and thrown down the mountain), and the focus is shifting to survival in modern times. But the cult still has its background – why were they targeted? What is the origin of the demon cult? Is Miao Yunyou's role as leader just because she found them, or is there destiny involved? The "Little Sky Classmate" hinted at interference, so maybe there's more world manipulation to come.

The character design for Luo Xinglan is my favorite so far – dark blue fitted outfit, Star Silk Ring with seven silver-blue threads that can lock doors, the way she moves from fearlessness to sorrow when ordering the escape. She's cool and capable, but we also see her vulnerability when she cries over the candy. The trauma she carries (forgetting her own name, not tasting sweetness for years) gives her depth. Her dynamic with Miao Yunyou is like ice and fire, complete opposites who somehow complete each other.

One minor nitpick: the transitions between action and comedy are sometimes too abrupt. For example, in the first chapter we're in a life-or-death situation with blood and siege, then suddenly time freezes and a kid shows up. It's funny, but the emotional whiplash might not work for everyone. Similarly, the switch from Luo Xinglan's tragic backstory to mint candy comedy during the meal felt a little jarring. I think the author could benefit from slightly smoother shifts, but the overall tone is consistent enough that I still enjoyed it.

The chapter about the phone purchase was brief but shows Miao is planning to reconnect with her sister. The fact that she immediately checks the train prices and route – 93 yuan, 7 hours from Zhangjiajie to W City – adds realism. This isn't a story where technology solves everything instantly; she's on a budget. I'm curious if she'll actually go back to the orphanage soon or if plot will interfere. Zhang Mo's heart condition mentioned earlier worries me – hope we get to see that reunion before anything bad happens.

I really like the quiet moments between Miao Yunyou and Luo Xinglan. The malatang scene is mostly dialogue but it reveals so much. Luo Xinglan's observation skills – memorizing the bottle, noticing the candy – show she's observant. And Miao's casual dropping of her sister story shows she's opening up. The way Luo Xinglan said "you should return to the world where you belong" felt like a conclusion she'd come to during the meal, not an impulse. It's touching that she wants Miao to be happy, even if it means losing her.
