Jiang Ruan is a gifted metaphysics prodigy, but she is trapped by a so-called Heavenly Calamity fate that supposedly means she will not live past the age of 23. Following her master's guidance, she descends the mountain to find her destined man, Huo Shiyu, who can help her overcome her deadly tribulation. However, when she finally meets him, she discovers that Huo Shiyu has been poisoned and left in a vegetative state, while the Huo family, once the wealthiest family in the country, is on the brink of collapse. After exposing the Huo family's second uncle as the culprit, Jiang Ruan successfully awakens Huo Shiyu.
