From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

In 2099, a gigantic Void Hole suddenly appeared in the sky of the planet that people relied on for survival.

Monsters never seen before surged out of the Void Hole, and all of humanity's lethal weapons struggled to stop the invasion of the Void Monsters, whose sudden arrival caused countless human deaths and injuries.

The very existence and survival of humanity faced an unprecedented crisis.

Facing this disaster, all the nations of Earth displayed an unprecedented unity, casting aside all past hatreds, sharing technology, and unanimously resisting the invasion of the Void Monsters.

In 2100, humans discovered that since the appearance of the Void Hole, Earth had begun to fill with a type of gas that could be absorbed and used by humans.

It existed between heaven and earth, as invisible and traceless as the air and could be refined and sublimated by most people into various mysterious powers.

In the second half of the year 2100, the first human with a "superpower" was born, and afterwards, more and more people began to possess such abilities.

Those with abilities were called "Cultivators," and the mysterious air that existed between heaven and earth was named "True Qi."

From then on, humanity's Great Cultivation Era began.

By today, the year 2310, 210 years have passed.

Humans began to grow stronger and stronger, but the monsters from the Void Hole seemed endless, constantly pouring into Earth.

The battle with the Void Monsters had no end in sight, and humans did not dare slacken in the slightest.

With the onset of the Great Cultivation Era, the social status of humans naturally underwent earth-shaking changes, with all respect going to the powerful.

In the past, humans worshiped money and power, but now, Cultivation strength has overwhelmed both money and power and has become the foremost pursuit of humans.

However, not all humans had the right to pursue strength. A large part of the Earth's population was born unable to sense True Qi.

They were considered—fated to be a Mortal.

Fang Ren, this utterly ordinary student from a Mediocre University—he was what this era defined as a "Mortal," with no talent for Cultivation and naturally unable to sense the True Qi that existed on this Earth.

At 175 cm tall, weighing 120 pounds, he had delicate features but could not be called handsome, and he was always among the bottom three in class rankings, without fail.

Ordinary to the extreme.

He also considered himself fated to be an ordinary person for life, so he didn't have any grand ambitions. He only wanted to graduate normally from school, then find a job, marry Liu Qianqian, who also had no Cultivation Ability, provide for a family, and live an unremarkable life.

Unlike those fortunate few in the school who were born with the ability to cultivate, heading to the battlefield to kill the enemy and achieve fame and fortune... those ethereal things, he never even contemplated.

Uncle Han, who had raised him since he was a child, probably thought the same.

The reason he entered this Mediocre University and even chose the medical department was all arranged by Uncle Han.

He quite liked the medical department, since Liu Qianqian was also there.

There's an idiom for that, right? Absence makes the heart grow fonder—or is it, "familiarity breeds fondness"? If they weren't together every day, how could they become fond? (There's a comma that just can't be deleted.)

Speaking of Liu Qianqian, she was known by everyone at the university.

After all, she was a campus beauty, not just beautiful in appearance with a superb figure, but also had exceptional academic performance.

What truly captivated the boys' hearts was that she was a genius in medical theory at school and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—she was warm and elegant, dignified and generous.

She was simply every man's dream lover.

In Fang Ren's eyes, Liu Qianqian was just as flawless, only unfortunately, she regarded him as a good friend, when he had hoped to be her boyfriend.

As a result, what was once a very good friendship was made awkward by his two successive confessions.

If it weren't for the fact that he had missed the memorial for Xuan Nv today, which could have even led to his expulsion from school, Liu Qianqian probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to find him.

The relationship was now too awkward...

If he hadn't rashly confessed, then the person closest to Liu Qianqian right now wouldn't be some girls but would be him.

----

With a mix of dejection and regret, Fang Ren was almost home.

The place he and Uncle Han lived was a two-story villa within Century Garden that looked quite elegant and unique from afar.

It should be said that the villas in Century Garden are quite expensive, and Fang Ren didn't know where Uncle Han got the money to buy a house here.

Ever since he could remember, Uncle Han had always lived here with him. But as far as he knew, Uncle Han was just an employee of a small company, earning a monthly salary that topped out at about five thousand at most, which made it unthinkable to him how Uncle Han could afford it.

Fang Ren had once asked Uncle Han about it, but Uncle Han simply said it was bought with lottery winnings...

As a child, he believed this, but the older he got, the more he realized something was off. If there was so much money, why not buy a comparatively cheaper residence and use the remaining money for other purposes? Uncle Han wasn't stupid...

As he was about to arrive home, Fang Ren looked at his small house and his brows gradually furrowed, his steps slowing down.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned back to look at the sign at the entrance and confirmed he hadn't come to the wrong place.

Century Garden, no mistake, and the location of his little house was also correct.

But why were there two rows of people in black suits standing at the entrance to his home? And why were there three black Bentleys parked? Had some big shot come to his house?

Bentleys were cars that only high-ranking officials on Earth could be assigned, and here were three of them...

"Damn it! Could Uncle Han have gotten into some serious trouble!"

After a moment of panic and thought, Fang Ren dashed towards his small home.

"Who's there?"

Just as he was about to step into his house, he was stopped by a man in a black suit who frowned and spoke sternly.

Fang Ren replied, "This is my house."

"Fang Ren?"

"...Yes."

"We've been waiting for you."

Upon hearing him confirm his identity, the creases on the man's forehead smoothed out instantly.

Fang Ren was stunned for a moment before asking, "Is Uncle Han in some kind of trouble?"

The man in the suit said with a hint of a smile, "He's fine. Hurry and go inside. There's a surprise waiting for you."

"Huh?"

Fang Ren looked at his sudden smile and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Uncle Han hadn't committed any crime? And there was a surprise inside? With the sudden smile of the man in the suit... Fang Ren couldn't help but wonder if it was really a surprise or a shock that awaited him?

Carrying a full load of questions, Fang Ren stepped into the house, only to see that the two sofas next to the small coffee table were already filled with people, and next to the small coffee table, there was a wheelchair.

There were four people in total. Besides Uncle Han, whom he recognized, there was one man and two women. One of the men and one of the women wore black formal attire and seemed middle-aged, while the other woman appeared to be in her early twenties and had long silver hair.

From Fang Ren's angle, he could only see the woman's eyes above her nose and not her full face.

Uncle Han's expression was very sad, and Fang Ren did not know what had happened here earlier.

As Fang Ren walked in, the sight of him made Uncle Han's sadness vanish instantly, replaced by his usual smile as he stood up and said, "Ah Ran, come here."

"Uncle Han... what's happening?" Fang Ren walked over, completely baffled.

As he spoke, the middle-aged couple turned their heads and set their gaze on Fang Ren, their faces bearing gentle smiles.

"I've arranged a marriage for you," Uncle Han said with a laugh.

"What? A marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ren nearly lost his footing and slid out.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Fang Ren, then turned to Uncle Han with a smile on her face and said, "So he's from the Fang Family..."

She had gotten halfway through the word "family" when she abruptly swallowed the rest, continuing with, "You mean that's Fang... Ren?"

"Yes, this kid has been brought up by me since he was little, and he's the one I trust most," Uncle Han stated.

Fang Ren was still confused and continued to walk towards the chair on the side. During his walk, he glanced briefly at the three strangers in the room.

His gaze passed over the middle-aged man, then the middle-aged woman... Hmm, both exuded a certain nobility, yet their smiles felt very kind.

His eyes finally rested on the silver-haired woman... Hmm, indeed she looked like a daughter from a distinguished family, truly beautiful... Don't move!!!

Holy crap! What kind of celestial beauty is this!

Fang Ren did not consider himself someone who would be stopped in his tracks by a pretty woman, but at that moment, his eyes couldn't help but stare intently.

Her entire face had a refreshing charm that left his mind blank, making him forget what he was doing.

It was a face like that of a fairy, with eyes like autumn waters, delicately arched brows, a finely sculpted nose, and cherry-red lips------It's hard to imagine how a person this beautiful wouldn't incur the heavens' jealousy.

What did they mean by sinking fish, falling geese, hiding the moon, and shaming flowers? Fang Ren truly had his eyes opened now; he had thought Liu Qianqian was the epitome of beauty, but now he was confronted with someone even more breathtaking.

The silver-haired woman's expression seemed a bit despondent, her long lashes slightly drooped, half-covering her autumnal eyes, giving off an inexplicable sense of small sadness.

He really wanted to enter the gateway of her heart, to know everything about her, to wipe the sorrow from her face with gentle words and see her smile like a fairy------Surely that would be devastatingly beautiful.

"Beautiful, isn't she?"

Just as Fang Ren's eyes were fixed in awe, Uncle Han knocked on the coffee table and made a remark.

"Ah... what?"

Fang Ren snapped back to his senses, looking rather flustered, his face turning red, he quickly sat down in the chair to the side, not daring to look at the silver-haired woman again.

"Young men are still bashful," the middle-aged man commented with a chuckle upon seeing this.

The middle-aged woman joined in with a smile, "Ah Ran, don't be so nervous. There's nothing to be shy about. After all, you two will be husband and wife; you have a long life together ahead of you."

"Husband and wife?!!"

Fang Ren felt like his brain was about to explode.

What was happening? Such a beautiful girl... was going to marry him?

But... he rather liked Liu Qianqian, even though he'd been rejected twice...
