A Ruthless Sword Cultivator's Modern Life Journal

Lin Yuanyuan is the incarnation of Jinghong Zhenren. From the moment she was born, her parents despised her and sent her to the countryside, where they ignored her for eighteen years, treating her like something worthless. Later, they brought her back to the Lin family to marry off in her older sister's place, but her intended spouse treated her like she didn't exist and let his friends mock and humiliate her. In the end, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness while still young...

Jinghong laughed. She was, after all, the greatest swordswoman in the world. How could her incarnation be bullied so badly? If the Heavenly Dao refuses to act like a decent person, then it can't blame her for keeping a trick up her sleeve. First, she'll get through this tribulation without a hitch, then settle the score with the Heavenly Dao.

And so Lin Yuanyuan, with a little of Jinghong's true qi and cultivation, begins a brand-new life of turning her fortunes around. Short on money? No problem. She's been blessed with an otherworldly beauty, refined by cultivation. She can go on a variety show, become an overnight sensation, and enjoy the gossip the whole time. The tea fields in her adoptive parents' hometown are polluted? No problem. Her true qi can restore the forests and transform the villagers' bodies, and she can enjoy a little village gossip along the way. Her awful biological parents and eldest sister come looking for trouble? Even less of a problem. She has the strength to knock them flat, only to discover that the Lin family has even bigger secrets to spill!

As for the scumbag, she forgot all about him ages ago. Thanks for the reminder. She'll go find him now and show him what it means to beg her to be his daddy!

She thought Lin Yuanyuan was starting over on a path of hard work and an against-the-odds rise to the top, but who could have guessed she'd choose to lie flat and enjoy the gossip instead...

There is a male lead, but he appears very late and only a few times, so he can basically be ignored. The heroine shines on her own.
