Synopsis
In the Jade Empire, cultivation is the only wealth the throne cannot tax—so it places disposable imperial relatives inside powerful sects and claims their spiritual energy after death. Xiao Fen, the overlooked third daughter of a minor imperial branch, arrives at Yǎngshén Sect expecting polite neglect. Instead, she notices that the last three imperial cultivators stationed here were quietly drained before they died. With no great talent, no family protection, and no one safe to trust, Fen survives by doing what she has always done: reading rooms, remembering details, and letting powerful people underestimate her until their own paperwork becomes a weapon.
