Tian Ning, the biological daughter of the Wenren family, was swapped at birth and raised in the mortal realm by an old man who forced her to learn pill refining and insisted she enter the immortal realm to help bring peace to heaven and earth. When the Wenren family retrieves her, she arrives at Panlong City in a sedan chair, but no one from the family greets her—Madam Wenren has rushed to Wanjian Sect to attend to the adopted daughter Wenren Xue, who had an accident while breaking through to Golden Core. Tian Ning is not upset; she is absorbed in reading a storybook. Manager Xu, sent to receive her, tries to belittle her and attempts to carry her bulky box but fails because the box is a divine artifact that retains the weight of its contents; Tian Ning easily lifts it herself, commenting that this is the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. She insists on first going to her courtyard to settle in before attending the Dragon-Summoning Stone test in the ancestral hall. Her sparrow Jiujiu, who can breathe small flames, and white cat Xiaobai accompany her.
Upon arrival at the courtyard, Tian Ning arranges her room with miniature replicas of her mortal home stored in the divine box—once taken out, they return to original size. She turns the room into an exact copy of her old room. She brings the lifelike sparrow Jiujiu and cat. The sparrow is capable of spitting flames, and the white cat is pure white. She does not care about the gifts from the Wenren family.
At the ancestral hall, Dragon Clan Elder Yan, a Fire Dragon, is irritable and disdainful of the wild girl from the mortal realm. Tian Ning, seeing a rare Fire Dragon, shows admiration for him, which surprises Elder Yan. She asks if he can be contracted, but Elder Yan dismisses her. The Grand Elder then performs the blood ritual on the Dragon-Summoning Stone. When Tian Ning's blood, which is special, touches the stone, it projects an image of the Dragon Ancestor, a breathtakingly handsome man with cold blue eyes. Elder Yan is horrified, screaming that a mere human cannot contract with the Dragon Ancestor. He forbids the Wenren family from spreading the news and immediately returns to the Dragon Palace to consult the Dragon King. The Grand Elder is amazed at Tian Ning's dragon taming talent, but tells her to keep the matter secret. Tian Ning is unfazed and returns to reading storybooks in her courtyard.
The next morning, servants deliver several large boxes of gifts from her fourth brother Wenren Yang, with instructions that she should dress properly to greet Madam and Wenren Xue upon their return. The gifts smell of previous use. Tian Ning, displeased, says they are gifts and she can do what she wants. She orders Jiujiu to burn them all. The sparrow breathes small flames that, upon touching the boxes, erupt into a fierce fire. The fire burns the gifts but does not spread to other structures; the courtyard is otherwise damaged. Despite the maids' panic, Tian Ning calmly asks a small maid to take her to the dining hall. She walks away, leaving the fire behind, and instructs Jiujiu to extinguish it after burning everything.
At the dining table, Madam Wenren, Wenren Xue, the Young Dragon Prince Long Ye (who is infatuated with Wenren Xue), Wenren Yang, and his contracted senior Long Han are seated. They all dote on Wenren Xue, serving her food and ignoring Tian Ning. Tian Ning does not care; she eats heartily, consuming half the table's dishes alone, leaving a pile of shrimp shells. When she finishes, she announces she is full and prepares to leave. Wenren Yang jumps up to stop her, but Tian Ning drags him along effortlessly, shocking him with her strength. The maids who witnessed the fire arrive and accuse Tian Ning of burning the gifts. Tian Ning rationally points out that since the gifts were given to her, she could do what she wanted, and mocks Wenren Yang for being a cheapskate who regrets giving gifts. Madam Wenren tries to scold her, but Tian Ning, smiling brightly, retorts that she is just a fifteen-year-old girl raised in the countryside and that the family should not expect perfection. She then leaves, returning to her room and her storybook, completely unfazed by the family's anger. Wenren Yang is left humiliated, and the family is shocked by her defiance.
The core conflict revolves around Tian Ning's refusal to be subjugated by a family that values the impostor Wenren Xue and treats her as an outsider. Her dragon test reveals an unprecedented contract with the Dragon Ancestor, setting up future conflict with the Dragon Clan. Her ultimate goal, as hinted by the old man who raised her, is to enter the immortal realm to help bring peace to heaven and earth, though in the immediate story she simply wants to live comfortably and read her stories, resisting any attempts to manipulate or use her. The story ends with Tian Ning returning to her reading, having established her unbothered and unyielding character against the backdrop of the Wenren family's drama.
