Yun Xi, a research scientist in her previous life who grew up in an orphanage, dies from overwork and transmigrates into the body of a Snake Blood Vine in the novel Yuanyue Continent. The novel's original plot features Shen Qingqing, a Daughter of the Heavenly Dao with a Divine Grade Lightning Spiritual Root who is the beloved junior sister of Qingyun Sect, and Mo Chen, a Demon Race Young Master sealed by a righteous power. Mo Chen's residual divine sense enters Shen Qingqing's body, serving as her golden finger. Shen Qingqing helps Mo Chen recover his physical body by giving him resources unconditionally, while Mo Chen overhears information about the righteous path from within her body. Their story ends with Mo Chen rising to power and the demon race unifying the continent, with the sect where Shen Qingqing belongs being annihilated. She tearfully forgives Mo Chen, and they live happily ever after. In the original story, Yun Xi's body is killed by Mo Chen and turned into peace knots that are distributed to Shen Qingqing's admirers, including Mo Chen, and the peace knots appear throughout the book as a love token. Yun Xi transmigrates three years before this event.She knows the Dragon Vein Secret Realm well, as she has lived there as a vine. She plans to collect resources from the realm and escape before the protagonists arrive. She transforms into human form and exits the realm to sell some spirit plants, but the realm closes immediately, locking her belongings inside. She tries to convince the realm guardian to let her re-enter by claiming her great-grandmother is inside, using a fabricated story about her father dying early and mother remarrying. The realm guardian, a middle-aged Talisman Cultivator, is skeptical and refuses, mocking her. She reflects on her worthlessness, as Snake Blood Vine is priced at one spirit stone per meter on the market and is used to feed pigs.Cheng Jian Gui, the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect, has been waiting outside the secret realm for a month. He had a dream three months ago where the sect ancestor descended from the heavens, cursed the declining sect, and instructed him to recruit a little girl looking for her great-grandmother from the Dragon Vein Secret Realm, as she is the last hope for the sect. He took the dream seriously and traveled to Canghai City. He guarded the secret realm from the first day it opened until the last, staring at the Teleportation Mirror without sleep for a month. He even interrogated elderly women passing by, leading to rumors that he was a pervert. On the thirtieth day, when the realm closed and he was about to write his will in despair, he heard Yun Xi's plea. He immediately felt a sense of redemption and kidnapped her by putting her in a sack and flying away.He offers to make her his personal disciple, providing a Mustard Seed Bag with 200,000 spirit stones and over a dozen bottles of high-quality Pills, and promises an annual salary of 100,000 spirit stones. Yun Xi, despite initial resistance, is tempted by the material benefits and accepts. During the flight, he introduces himself and his sect. She learns that Lingxiao Sect is in decline, with less than a hundred disciples. His previous personal disciples include a sheltered young lady from a noble family, a sickly person who cannot stand, a crippled spirit root holder, and a delusional boy. Despite these issues, she sees the opportunity for protection and resources.Upon arriving at Lingxiao Sect, she sees the grand gate with three characters written in vigorous calligraphy. Cheng Jian Gui tests her spiritual root by touching her head and sensing her spiritual energy. He finds it to be supreme dual spiritual root of earth and wood, which is compatible with the sect's defensive cultivation methods. He is pleased, but she is disappointed as it is not a special root. She produces a snake blood vine from her hand and hangs it around his neck as a gift, saying he can use it to hang himself if needed. He is amused but returns it, using it to tie a scarf around her neck for protection during flight. She accepts her new role and calls him master, settling into a new life with her fate now tied to Lingxiao Sect and the guidance of Cheng Jian Gui.
