... Read More

Gu Qingyin returns to the Huo family villa after a mission only to be confronted by a man who identifies himself as Huo Xingye, the current Family Head of the Huo family. She quickly realizes that two days in an alternate dimension for her was twenty years in the real world. Her husband Huo Yun Jing died in a car accident ten years ago, and her six-month-old son has grown into the man before her. A paternity test confirms their relationship. Gu Qingyin explains she is a Celestial Master who chases ghosts and subdues demons. She had a marriage of convenience with Huo Yun Jing, consummated it, and became pregnant. She left for a mission when her son was almost six months old after an argument with Huo Yun Jing who wanted her to stay home. The mission led her into an alternate dimension, and when she emerged two decades had passed. Huo Yun Jing had died and her son now runs the family.

After the test Huo Xingye takes her to dinner. She gives his assistant Xue Ning a protective talisman. She then goes to an antique street to buy cinnabar, yellow paper, and jade pendants, planning to make protective charms for her family. She spends the evening crafting three jade pendants. Days pass without Huo Xingye visiting so she decides to go find him. Just as she is about to leave she receives a call from Qin Zhen the owner of an antique shop she frequented years ago. He asks her to save the daughter of his friend Xu Chaoyue who is possessed by a ghost for five days. Gu Qingyin agrees and goes to the Xu villa.

At the villa heavy ghost qi pervades the second floor. The child's father Old Xu is skeptical of her abilities and prefers to wait for a renowned Daoist from Longhu Mountain. Gu Qingyin warns that the ghost is about to act and insists on taking the case. Old Xu agrees to pay ten million if she can save his daughter. Gu Qingyin goes upstairs and uses talismans to protect Qin Zhen and Old Xu. She then enters the child's room to confront the possessing entity and exorcise the ghost. The story ends with her preparing to deal with the ghost and save the child.

Overall, this novel has the addictive quality of a binge-watch drama. The short chapters are filled with conflict, humor, and just enough mystery to keep me wanting more. The prose is clean, the characters are charismatic, and the plot moves at a satisfying clip. I do think some of the side plots (like the antique shop) could be expanded later to add depth. And I hope we eventually learn more about Huo Yunjing’s death. But for now, I’m thoroughly entertained and invested in Gu Qingyin’s journey back into a world that left her behind.

The emotional core of this story is the relationship between Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingye. Even though they’ve only interacted for a few pages, I already feel a bond forming. They both have strong personalities—stubborn, proud, and reactive. Their fight was physical, but it cleared the air. The quiet moments afterward (the car ride, the meal) show that they’re trying to adjust. I’m particularly touched by how Huo Xingye assigns bodyguards to protect her despite his skepticism. He’s already acting like a protective son, even if he won’t admit it.

I am a little worried about the ghost possession case being too quick. The girl has been possessed for five days, and Gu Qingyin arrives just in time before the ghost makes a move. It feels convenient, but the author sets it up well by showing that the father didn’t trust her at first and almost sent her away. The ten million payment also raises the stakes. I hope the exorcism is creative and shows Gu Qingyin’s skills beyond just punching people. I want to see her use talismans and formations.

The concept of a mother returning to find her children grown up is not new, but the execution here feels fresh because of the cultivatior vs modern world contrast. Gu Qingyin is not just any mother—she’s a Celestial Master who fights ghosts. That gives her a unique toolkit to navigate this new reality. The time-skip also creates immediate friction with the son, who is now an adult with his own authority. Their relationship isn’t automatically warm; it has to be earned through scenes like the beating and the barbecue.

One thing I noticed: the author uses repeated words and phrases to emphasize Gu Qingyin’s character. She “frowned” and “rolled up her sleeves” multiple times when frustrated. It’s a small stylistic choice that reinforces her hot temper. Also, the dialogue tags are mostly “said” or “asked,” which keeps the focus on the words rather than fancy verbs. It’s invisible prose that doesn’t draw attention to itself. I prefer that over overly flowery writing in fast-paced novels like this.

I have to admit, the part where Gu Qingyin says she can go with Huo Xingye to do a paternity test, and he initially refuses because his face is swollen, is peak comedy. It’s such a vanity concern from someone who’s supposed to be intimidating. And then she takes a photo to blackmail him! That’s such a mom thing to do. It immediately establishes a playful dynamic where she has the upper hand. The author balances the serious supernatural premise with these very human, silly moments perfectly.
