[Strong heroine + play the pig to eat the tiger + group transmigration + transmigrate + cultivation]
Shi Jiu is a sword-cultivating genius in a cultivation world, preparing to ascend to immortality.
When she opens her eyes, she finds herself transmigrated into the body of Shijiu, the heroine of an old-fashioned body-double romance. And she isn’t the one being used as a substitute. She’s the one treating someone else as a substitute.
The heroine dies a tragic death at the end of the novel, and Shi Jiu is supposed to play the original character, unable to change how the story unfolds.
“I refuse to die without ever being my own person!”
With that, Shi Jiu kills herself.
The next moment, she opens her eyes again.
She’s back in the cultivation world, but still in Shijiu’s body. It turns out that people from her original world have transmigrated too!
She later discovers that this world is far more chaotic than she imagined. It’s not just those few who’ve transmigrated; people have come from other worlds as well!
“Heavenly Dao, what’s your deal? You just love making me the heroine and the savior? Then I refuse!”
Later...
“Shi Jiu, this secret realm is full of opportunities. You should go.”
“No.”
“Shi Jiu, the prize for winning this competition is incredible. You should enter.”
“No.”
“...Shi Jiu, how about you just give up? Your master and senior brothers will support you.”
“No... Wait, really? I’m in!”
