Hun Pan Jiu Chuan

After more than a decade away from home, Lang Jiuchuan, the Ninth Miss of the Marquis of Kaiping Estate, returns to the capital to attend a funeral. What should have been a long-awaited reunion becomes a bitter disappointment. Her birth mother dislikes her, her family keeps their distance, and everyone sees her as nothing more than a troublesome curse.

Stepping into the capital's aristocratic circles for the first time, she is mocked as a country-bred girl with a frail, short-lived appearance, uncouth manners, and no place among the nobility. But Lang Jiuchuan could not care less. Wild grass survives where others cannot, thriving against the wind, and that resilience suits her perfectly.

As the nobles secretly wager on how long this seemingly ordinary, ill-fated young woman has left to live, they forget one thing: disasters are notoriously hard to kill.

Though she appears delicate and easy to bully, anyone foolish enough to test her soon learns otherwise. Why rely on others for protection when she can become her own wings?

By day she severs the forces of the living, by night she overturns the powers of the dead. Her extraordinary abilities soon become known throughout the realm, drawing countless people willing to pay any price for her help. Yet Lang Jiuchuan seeks only to accumulate merit, rebuild her failing body, prolong her life, recover a lost soul, and settle old scores.

Thrown into a hopeless beginning, she refuses to surrender. Against all odds, Lang Jiuchuan will carve her own path through every enemy and obstacle that stands in her way.
