[Cold-hearted heroine + face-slapping + tormenting men + tragic romance aesthetic + no couple]
“Will you leave me too, Sister?” A mist gathered in the young man’s eyes, but he stubbornly kept looking at her.
Though she noticed the hope hidden in his reddened eyes, Shi Xia didn’t hesitate for a moment as she pulled her hand away.
“I will,” she said.
The male lead’s face turned deathly pale.
Shi Xia affectionately kissed the man’s brow, her expression tender, almost adoring. Yet the blade in her hand pierced his heart without mercy the very next moment.
Meeting the male lead’s shocked, anguished gaze, Shi Xia leaned close with a bright smile. “You said you didn’t know how to love, didn’t you? Be good, my dear disciple. I’ll teach you.”
Zombies run rampant, and patriarchy rules.
Yet Shi Xia carves a bloody path through the storm of violence. Beyond the dawn breaking over her blade stands a generation of women, proud and unbowed.
The world loves to see wicked women bow their heads and noble ladies bend the knee,
but Shi Xia prefers to shatter these tired old scenes,
forcing the male leads to surrender and the defeated to lay down their arms.
Content warnings:
1. Most of the mini-worlds have tragic endings. If you’re easily moved to tears, please keep tissues handy.
2. The first world is an exception. It will be revisited later.
3. The main world, the heroine’s original world, has an all-female main cast. The heroine feels compassion for women, but is ruthless toward men.
[The heroine is sweet-tongued but cold-hearted, and merciless when dealing with scum. She is not a conventional good person.]
