Synopsis

A cool-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside senior sister who grows up × a sweet-looking but secretly ruthless junior brother (Lin Zhi × Song Yu). Please note: The pacing is slow and the relationship develops gradually. Includes one-sided same-sex romantic feelings.

The senior sister of Lingxiao Sect died in the final battle against the Lord of Demons.

She still remembered that day: the heavens and earth were dark, corpses lay everywhere, and the ground was soaked in blood.

Lin Zhi gathered her spiritual energy into a sword and pierced the demon lord’s demonic core, even as he pierced her heart.

She didn’t actually have to die.

If only her senior brother had come to help instead of resolutely turning away to save their junior sister.

If only her junior brother had given her the protective talisman instead of giving it to their junior sister.

If only the sword that had been with her for years hadn’t slipped from her hand while protecting their junior sister.

She could have survived. She was one of the finest sword cultivators of her generation.

What a pity. It must have been fate, Lin Zhi thought.

As it turned out, it really was fate. After she died, a scroll from Liuli Manor told her that the human world she loved was nothing more than a storybook.

Everything that happened in this world was just meant to elevate the junior sister and create a new god.

Got it, got it. Any more and it would be rude.

So everything she had done was a joke. Even without her, the human world would be just fine in the end.

In that case, Lin Zhi smiled faintly. She would focus on herself and never repeat the same mistakes.

On her path to immortality, Lin Zhi encountered the future demon lord before he had grown powerful.

At the time, he was still a pitiful little thing, bullied until he was a bloody mess, like a flower on the verge of withering.

After thinking it over, Lin Zhi rescued him from his misery.

And then she had a junior brother who carefully wiped the blood off himself and followed behind her, sweetly calling her “Senior Sister.”

Cultivation, Female-Focused, Ice Spirit Root, Mainly Sword Cultivation but Well-Rounded, With a Male Lead

Are there any female-oriented cultivation novels where the heroine has an ice spirit root and focuses on swordsmanship but is good at everything? The male lead should have a thunder spirit root and wield a spear. I'll wait here, it's urgent! Please! No male lead is fine too.

Can You Still Find Fantasy Stories for Female Readers Without a Female Lead Transmigrating Into a Book, Becoming a Supporting Female Character, or Getting a Chosen One's Luck?

I don’t want a flashy, face-slapping strong heroine. I want a romance pairing, with a heroine who’s either already powerful or starts out as a beginner and grows while keeping a low profile. Then bring on some schemes, fighting monsters, leveling up, taking down villains, or saving the world. I don’t want endless fights with other women.

A Merman Male Lead and a Cultivating Female Lead: No Stupidity, Good Writing, Female-Oriented

The male lead is a genderless merperson, and the heroine mistakes him for a girl. He only develops into a man after falling for her. I hope the plot isn't too clichéd, with stuff like white-lotus characters and misunderstandings. I want both leads to actually communicate, please, I really need this. I'm a sucker for this kind of story 😢

For now, that's fine, but please don't mix romance with BL (Boys' Love) themes 🥺💕

Overall, it's pretty good. However, I hope Bai Ci doesn't fall for Qu Anling later on, or even get together with him. If that happens, it would be quite unsettling. I hope the author won't write such a plot. Of course, this is just a hope, not a demand. I don't discriminate against gay men; I just feel uncomfortable seeing Bai Ci and Qu Anling together…

This is a romance novel without any BL elements. I hope Qu and Bai don't end up together (no discrimination against Nantong, just that Qu doesn't deserve them). Mirror Shadow is so cute! ヾ(๑╹ヮ╹๑)ﾉ"!❤️

It's good, but I don't want gay men in romance novels 🍉 and that guy surnamed Qu is really annoying [pouting face]

It's really good-looking (ps: Qu Anling is a bit annoying though).

All I can say is, what makes Qiao Ningning so special? (Sorry, I'm getting a little emotional 🙂) Ahhh, Sister Lin Zhi is so cool!

It's pretty good, it's just that not many people watch it.

This is a great new story! I'm teary-eyed waiting for updates 🥹 Based on the current plot, I think even if the female lead is reborn, she won't change her path of saving the world. This is because it's a fixed belief from her previous life. It's just that the way people treated her in her past life has blurred her understanding of "saving," and she won't be particularly enthusiastic about it…

I give it 4.5 stars and highly recommend it. I can really empathize with the female protagonist. If you have talent and work incredibly hard, but are still manipulated by fate and used as a whetstone for the heavens' favored ones; if you shoulder the responsibilities of your sect and constantly give to it, only to be told it's all meaningless; if you take the path of eliminating demons and…

Five stars!!! But I have a few suggestions~ Could we please not have Bai and Qu end up together? I don't like romance mixed with other themes. Please don't criticize if you disagree, thank you. I feel that in the recent chapters (after the female lead and Ji become friends), the male lead's appearance rate is so low. Doesn't the female lead go back to her residence after her mission? The male lead is still at home! Author, keep up the good work!!! 😘😘😘😘
