The original novel within the book is titled "The Immortal Path to Lingxiao." Its original story follows Li Lingxiao, the fated male protagonist, who relies on Dan Chenzi inside the Profound Fire Ring, the resources of five beautiful women, and several fortuitous encounters in secret realms to rise all the way to the top. Lu Zhiyao is merely an insignificant servant in the original story. After discovering Li Lingxiao secretly taking spiritual herbs, Lu Zhiyao is pushed off the Medicine Cliff by Zhao Hu and dies in the third chapter. Lu Zhiyao transmigrates into the book half a day before the first chapter begins. Just as Lu Zhiyao finishes receiving the original owner's memories, the scheming Opportunity-Stealing System activates. The system announces that the first key plot event will occur in half an hour: Su Qinghan's Taiyin Cold Meridian will lose control at the spiritual spring in the back mountain, and Li Lingxiao will use the excuse of delivering medicine to earn her first measure of trust.
