Game power-leveler Xu Xiaoman logs into the holographic game Asking Immortality, but falls into the real world of immortality. The exit function fails, and death cannot be reloaded. She joins the life-cherishing and protective Yangyi Sect, relying on a flawed interface and the furnace spirit Tao Lao—who loves adding random ingredients—to study alchemy, talismans, arrays, beast taming, and other survivalist crafts. Her half-baked handcrafts often cause all sorts of blunders, yet she repeatedly turns danger into safety through unorthodox methods. Maneuvering between myriad clans and sects, dealing with crises of the Treasure Pill Assembly and the Abyss Offering Cult, she seeks only to live safely.
