Upon awakening, the apocalypse's metaphysics master, Nan Li, found herself as the lost Sixth Miss of the Anyang Marquis Manor

Thinking it would be a story of abuse, she never expected all five of her brothers to dote on her one after another!

Nan Li shouted, "Stop pampering me! In fact, I can do everything, from capturing ghosts, exterminating demons, divination, physiognomy, to healing and saving people. I'll lead the family to rise in power and wealth!"

Accidentally saving the Ninth Prince, who held great power in the court, Nan Li found him renowned for his cold and unfeeling demeanor. However, he became utterly addicted to pampering her and refused to take other concubines.

The scheming and malicious women were angry, shouting, "The prince lacks heirs, how can this be allowed?!"

Nan Li pointed at the line of little ghost-catching disciples and said, "I'll cure your poor eyesight!"

The Ninth Prince lifted her in his arms and said, "We have a bit of thin property that needs to be inherited, so we'll have a few more children."

Later on—

Nan Li looked at the continuous immortal mountains and the room full of treasures, her mouth twitching, "I thought you had a throne to inherit, what's going on now?!"

The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife

With the talisman array supporting him, Marquis Zhenbei had a sliver of strength left. He took a deep breath and said, "I've kept this hidden because I feared you'd have such thoughts."


The Empress, learning of her brother's long-hidden burden, felt her heart wrench with pain. "Brother, at this point, what is there to hide? What happened that caused your soul to be so damaged?"


Marquis Zhenbei sighed, surveying the people in the room before beckoning Ye Siheng and Nanli closer. His face was gaunt, and his voice weak. "The Prince commands respect in the court, and the Princess Consort is highly skilled in Taoism. This matter should be disclosed to you."


Everyone remained silent, not wanting to disturb the Marquis.


He continued, "Over twenty years ago, an evil spirit appeared in the palace, causing the deaths of many palace servants overnight. The National Master was still alive then and used a talisman array to trap it when it was at its weakest."
