FULL PLOT SUMMARY:
From the author of Fists and Lipsticks, Fists and Lipsticks 2: The Silver Crescent, and Vena Cava.
The year is 800 AD -- the reign of Tang Dynasty. In the midst of corruption and political warfare, numerous rebel groups have arisen, the biggest of which led by the exiled Crown Prince Li Jian Yu. They plot an almost-successful assassination attempt against ruthless Empress Wu. The empress, hit by a poisoned needle, becomes fatally ill and will die in seven days. Her condition is kept in secret; otherwise she will be immediately removed from power.
Chancellor Gong Zai summons an old man to Prince Li's fortress. The man calls himself the 'Sage of Mountain Tai', the person responsible for making the poisoned needles. Xin eavesdrops on the conversation and learns about the Empress' dying condition. She also overhears that the poison, which takes three decades to brew, had no known antidote. She immediately recalls a similar needle hitting her on the neck during the latest clash against the House of Li and turns out that she was also poisoned. This explains her weakened state, her skin becoming pale, and her hair turning white. She, too, is dying in seven days.
But Xin is sly and ambitious. She refuses to die and will do anything to counteract the poison. Stealing a vitality potion from the Sage that will temporarily restore her strength, she fights her way out of the fortress. She also takes the Sage of Mountain Tai as hostage and keeps him in Wu Palace's underground prison for interrogation. The Sage tells her that there is indeed no antidote for the poison and the chance of death is absolute. There is only one way left. He tells her about a legendary Elixir that can completely restore a person's vitality and endow her with immortality. Xin sets out in a mission to seek the Elixir of Immortality under the guise of helping the Empress. In reality, however, she plans on using the Elixir herself to gain immortality and possibly become the Empress herself.
She uses the Key of Heaven and Earth and meets the Spirit of Immortality, the holder of the Elixir of Immortality. As Xin attempts to reach for it, however, she is driven back by a powerful force and submerges into the water, losing consciousness. The Spirit of Immortality enters her dreams and reveals to her that the Elixir of Immortality may only be acquired by someone whose heart is filled with the Seven Virtues of Heaven, namely love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faith, and self-control. A person like Xin can never attain immortality with her sinful ways.
And so, she is magically time-warped to modern Beijing Year 2012 as a high-school student. She has nothing but a set of school uniform, a bag of school books, and the Key of Heaven and Earth. There, she meets the ill-mannered and conceited student council president named Chen Qi Feng. The lessons start.
