Synopsis

[There are couples! A comedic story with angst woven into the main plot and a touch of ensemble cast. Please don't reject romance of any orientation. Most importantly: no ship-bashing! If that's not for you, please don't open this story.]

Ruan Wei, a university student of religious studies, dies suddenly of a heart attack after getting furious at her advisor for refusing to approve her leave request.

After death, she transmigrates into a melodramatic cultivation novel written by her cousin, becoming the early-dead beloved senior sister of Penglai Immortal Sect, who sacrifices everything for the male lead.

In the melodramatic novel, the second senior sister falls in love at first sight with the male lead, who comes to Penglai as an exchange student. The male lead gets beaten up, and the second senior sister steps in. The male lead's junior sister falls unconscious, and the second senior sister steps in. The male lead is poisoned, and the second senior sister steps in... Then something goes wrong.

Ruan Wei holds the script, staring at it with the same baffled look as that meme of the old man on the subway. “No wonder Penglai wants to shut itself away from the world.”

Aside from her, a lovesick second senior sister, the rest are a deadpan, self-righteous eldest senior brother; a fast-talking third junior brother obsessed with revenge; a sleeping-beauty fourth junior sister; and a sarcastic youngest junior brother. Not one of them is easy to deal with.

By the later part of the story, the once respectable Penglai Immortal Sect has practically been overwhelmed by demonic energy, turned into a den of demons in the cultivation world.

The System in her head calls itself the World-Saving System and greets her enthusiastically. “You're here, sis. Let's get to work.”

Ruan Wei looks at the cloud-climbing staircase stretching so far she can't see the end. “Do we really have to start from the beginning?”

The System beams proudly. “That's what makes me so good. Starting from the beginning gives us a rock-solid chance of success.”

Ruan Wei focuses on the indicator in her head, completely bewildered. “Starting with a 70% corruption rate?”

The System is shocked. The System is astonished. The System lets out a shrill scream

Countless attempts, and only then the karma of traveling through time gathers between the brows.

It's great, really great! Every character is well-developed, the writing is excellent, and it's not awkward to read. The female lead isn't weak or resentful; she's smart and decisive. It's a great read, trust me, I've actually finished Lin Du! 🥰 Perfect, please see.

I really love it 🤤🤤. Although there are some silly parts, the recollections of past lives always make you want to immerse yourself in the story. Especially the death of the Second Senior Sister, which caused the entire Penglai to collapse and fall into the shackles of fate, using the lives of this generation of Penglai disciples to fill the void in the Heavenly Dao.

Wow, this is so well written! Everyone says the male lead is the junior brother, but I haven't really gotten into the romance yet. It feels more like a typical sibling relationship. Maybe I just haven't figured it out yet 🤔 But I really do ship the female lead and the original male lead, I don't know why, I just feel like it's a good match 🥰 Looking forward to the rest of the story

After searching through all the highly-rated novels and finding nothing else to read, I looked for others with lower ratings. Honestly, I think this novel deserves at least a 9.3 Rating so far. Many cultivation novels these days follow the same formula, and I'm too lazy to read them anymore. This one is truly different and quite good.

This book really suits my taste. The setting involves a constantly restarting world line, which is truly difficult to write, but the author weaves it in very well. The fates of the five people from Penglai in the previous lives are incredibly moving, making the struggle to change their destinies even more tragic and relatable.

Sure, it's a very good cultivation novel, but just a heads-up: there's a male-male pairing, which I personally couldn't accept, so I left it. 🤦

Seriously!!! I love watching it!!! Trust the eyes of someone who has seen Lin Du! His strategic vision is incredible!!

I generally liked it, but perhaps because I'm a fan of female leads, I felt the romance between the male and female leads was a bit... (I'm not saying I think the author's writing is bad, it's just that I personally can't connect with the characters). I couldn't understand it, and even found it a bit inexplicable. Love—where is the love? Why is there love? What is it about that love?

First of all, I want to express how much I love this book. To be honest, I've been really short on good reading material for a long time. And this book is absolutely perfect for me, so I read it all without missing a single chapter! 😳 Next, I want to summarize why I love this book. What impressed me most is that there's no female rivalry in this book.

Previously: There is a romantic pairing. The male lead is Chi Jin, who isn't the savior type with a heart full of righteous indignation. This story advocates self-salvation. There will be some heartbreak at the end, but it's a happy ending (a real happy ending, not a double death). 💕 Let's summarize the viewing experience.
