A Unique Blend of Genres

This novel offers a fascinating blend of traditional fantasy and futuristic sci-fi. An Xian originally hailed from 21st-century Earth, enduring a grueling cultivation journey to become a top-tier alchemist in the world of Xingyao.

During her final tribulation, a medicinal mishap backfired, reversing her powers and altering her physique. Stripped of her feminine features, she fell into a deep slumber lasting 1,800 years, only to wake up in an age where spiritual energy has been completely depleted.

To survive in this technologically advanced civilization, she occupies the body of a deceased youth named Roy. Her new identity is that of an orphan, equipped with nothing but a mediocre D-grade Mental Energy and basic Level 3 Healer skills.

The Road to rising

Despite starting from the absolute bottom, An Xian remains incredibly smart and steadfast. She adaptively uses her ability of extracting spiritual power from plants to slowly regain her strength, cultivating spiritual plants, opening an apothecary, and steadily building her success.

Her choice to go through with this genderbender disguise allows her to navigate and thrive in this future world with ease. Armed with extraordinary talent and a charismatic demeanor, she gradually wins over the public, becoming a revered male god to her devoted fanbase, known as the pollen fanbase.

The Romance

Alongside her rising career is He Lin, a genuine male god of this interstellar world. He Lin falls deeply for An Xian, offering a deep romance filled with devoted love, unwavering loyalty, and a touch of very realistic jealousy.

Their romance unfolds at a gentle, comfortable pace, interspersed with sweet moments of her tending to adorable flora and fauna. These interactions cast a comforting, gentle atmosphere over the entire narrative.

Key Highlights

• An intriguing World building that seamlessly blends classical alchemy with a futuristic sci-fi setting.
• An Xian is a remarkably smart and steadfast protagonist with clear, logical goals.
