Synopsis

[Cultivation + no romance + genius + personal growth + ensemble cast + slow burn + transmigrate into a book]

Good news! Qin Nian died, transmigrated into a book, and came back to life!

Bad news: she transmigrated as a good-for-nothing cannon-fodder character who’s about to die!

She runs for her life, but is still forced onto the original plot’s path and pushed off a cliff by the heroine, who will destroy the Nanling Realm.

At the brink of life and death, the Lucky System appears, giving her the chance to change her cannon-fodder fate, survive, and save the world from the heroine, who will soon destroy it.

From then on, she cultivates hard and drags the plot into a sharp turn.

Then everything starts getting complicated...

At Yuqing Sect, she’s a good-for-nothing who has spent nine years stuck at the first level of Qi Refining.

At Shangqi Sect, she merely looks at a sword manual and immediately comprehends the sword, breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining!

“Junior Sister Qin is a true genius!”

So the so-called good-for-nothing isn’t really useless after all.

“Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things like straw dogs. Why would they show special favor to just one person?”

So the Heavenly Dao that favors the protagonist isn’t the sky above our heads, either.

In the Nanling Realm, which is growing its own flesh and blood, she gradually changes the fate of all the geniuses, who were meant to die as stepping stones for others.

Together, they grow into righteous cultivators capable of holding up the sky.

On the long road of cultivation, she forms deep friendships with those around her, and they join hands to pursue the Great Dao.

There are foreshadowed clues.

This isn’t a mindless power fantasy. The characters’ actions stem from their individual personalities.

The original heroine has to be ruthless to destroy this world, but she also has her own distinct personality and won’t be made stupid for the plot.

Also, this is a story about growth. The characters aren’t perfect, because nobody is.

And finally, I really can’t write blurbs. I can’t write blurbs. I can’t write blurbs. Writing blurbs is so hard.

Lastly, thank you for reading.

Please Recommend a Female-Oriented Ensemble Cultivation Novel Without Women Competing Against Each Other!

So many stories now are about competing with the original heroine, and I really hate cultivation novels with that kind of rivalry between women. I refuse to believe there aren't any good ensemble stories on Tomato! I don't mind if there's a male lead, but I'd prefer him to have a small role. No male lead would be even better, something like "Little Martial Uncle".
