After Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation, I Discovered I'm the Face-Slapping Villain

[Traditional cultivation + plot-focused + character growth + no CP + carefree Dao]

I want to write a female hero with a chivalrous spirit, in a xianxia world reminiscent of Chinese Paladin.

Also known as: The Villain Steps Outside the Plot

Lin Fuzhen was reincarnated as a medical cultivator. After cultivating for ten thousand years, she finally reached the day she would ascend, only for a tribulation bolt to strike her and send her straight back to her youth in the countryside.

Only after starting over did she learn that her world was actually a male-oriented level-up novel, and she was its gender-swapped, minor villainous cannon fodder.

The Heavenly Dao told her that if she failed to complete the final ending, this world would collapse completely.

Lin Fuzhen: ...Is it really that serious?

Fine, then. She’d help the Heavenly Dao out a little along her cultivation journey.

But as she made her way, the plot she experienced seemed quite different from the original.

Why was the flesh-and-blood Bodhisattva, who supposedly loved human flesh, a dazed little bald monk?

Why was the rogue demonic cultivator who vowed to kill everyone under heaven sneaking around with a group of children to steal demon beast eggs?

And how was the female cultivator who had a brief affair with the original male lead still a lesbian?!

The more the plot went off course, the less surprised Lin Fuzhen was to see the original male lead’s personality change completely.

Without changing her expression, she accepted all the heavenly treasures she’d prepared for the male lead to bring about the grand finale.

Fine, fine. You won’t follow the original plot, huh? Then I will!

Lin Fuzhen gripped Pangu’s axe, stepped on Houqing’s silk, and split open the gates of the Divine Realm with a single swing.

You old Divine King! Get out here!

Leave fame, fortune, and splendor behind; behold the true bones, true thoughts, and true Dao.

Living another life, Lin Fuzhen meets people, immortals, gods, and the world itself, and sets out on a different path through life.

If you could live another life, what differences would you discover?
