Synopsis

Cultivation + strong heroine + realism + warmth + System = no System

[A growth story. The heroine keeps a low profile in the early chapters; she's not the sort who transmigrates and immediately wreaks havoc. The story is grounded in reality, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing.]

“Lu Moxue has violated all propriety and seduced her master. According to sect rules, her cultivation will be abolished and she will be expelled from the sect immediately. Do you object?”

Seriously, who gets an opening like this?

But that's not even the worst part. The System that brought her here just died.

That's right, it croaked without putting up a fight. She's never seen such a weak System. What is she supposed to do now?

At the edge of death, Lu Moxue transmigrates into a cultivation novel aimed at male readers. If she can set the twisted plot straight and make the male lead choose the right path, she can be reborn and go home.

But she transmigrates into a crazy love-struck woman with the exact same name as her.

The original Lu Moxue drugged her master and nearly slept with him, then got caught red-handed. Now she's about to be tried in public.

And this unbeatable scapegoat only wakes up as the sentence is being passed. What a massive blame she's been saddled with, and whether she wants to bear it or not, there's no way out.

Even worse, the timeline is all wrong. The story doesn't begin for another five hundred years, which means the script she has is completely useless.

So how is she supposed to escape a death trap like this? Asking for help online, and in a hurry.

It presents a relatively rich world of cultivation, and the characters in the book are vividly portrayed, making them feel real and relatable (such as the female protagonist, her master, and other companions). From the plot, it depicts the female protagonist's life in cultivation.

The plot is quite novel, and it's ensemble piece, but it's so much of an ensemble that I can't even remember who all the other supporting characters are or what they do. The female lead is the overthinking type; there's so much internal monologue that it's like she's constantly rambling on and on. She's a psychological chatterbox, her thoughts easily wander, and her ideas are wildly imaginative.

It's super good. The characters aren't just the female lead who's strong; there's a diverse cast of characters, making it feel like a real cultivation world, not just the perspective of a book. The female lead's side is very protective of her own, which suits my taste. The junior uncle really hits my sweet spot, even though he's a bit cheeky.

It's a good read, not mindless, with strong values and principles, clear goals, no romantic pairings, and the characters aren't stupid. The entire story is well-developed and not mindlessly malicious. The protagonist isn't universally criticized, and the bystanders aren't naive either.

Super good-looking, the atmosphere is relaxed [I'm full], there are no people who are inexplicably jealous of this or that 👍 Everyone's IQ is online 👍👍 There are no people who can't distinguish right from wrong, the female lead has a good moral compass, has principles, and is grateful ❤️, as the direct disciple, the female lead is very responsible, kind but not a saint ❤️, the characters are…

It's pretty good, lighthearted, and most importantly, there aren't any supporting characters who inexplicably cause trouble, are jealous, or harbor resentment. It has the feel of a normal cultivation world, and it's great that most people seem like normal people. [You'll appreciate it]

Zhao Simian and Xuexue's interactions are so sweet! It's so natural and unintentional, not forced! 💕💕💕💕💕 The atmosphere is so adorable! I want them to be together! Waa ...

I'm curious how many chapters the author plans to write, and how the plot will be handled. It's quite good, but a bit confusing. The title makes me think it mainly focuses on the original male lead's path to redemption, but it's still on the female lead's growth. Also, is the relationship between the female lead and her senior brother just a setup for the male lead's development?

Keep up the good work, author! I really love the interactions between the female lead and the top senior brother, I adore them! Could you please add more stories about the female lead and the top senior brother in the side stories? (ﾉಥ益ಥ) Keep it up, author! 😘 [Requesting more updates]

The logic is strong, and so far the book is still very enjoyable. The plot is captivating, full of twists and turns, and the main characters are not delicate flowers, but rather wildflowers that bloom fragrantly after weathering storms. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story. Keep up the good work, author!
