Overworked Bai Ling unexpectedly dies and transmigrates into a novel.
How did her senior brother die again? She couldn't find the relevant plot.
Anyway, he died. She just doesn't know how.
Her second senior brother dies after a demonic cultivator drains all his cultivation. His body is left as dry and withered as old firewood. It doesn't end well for him.
Her third senior brother, the novel's third male lead, makes it all the way to the ending, then vanishes without a trace.
Her fourth senior brother was a young prodigy, famed across the land for his Chang'an Sword, but after getting involved with a wraith, his life took a turn for the worse.
As for her, before long she'll offend the female lead, and one of the female lead's lapdogs will throw her into the Demon Abyss to be tortured. By the time she dies, her body won't even be intact enough to piece together.
Later, she discovers that her eldest senior brother isn't too bright, but his identity is rather unusual.
Her second senior brother is too lazy to even rant.
Her third senior brother is in seclusion every day.
Her fourth senior brother thinks he's suffering from heart disease, not falling in love.
That Buddhist cultivator in the book, who falls into depravity and becomes a demon monk, his heart stirring until he turns demonic and plunges into the abyss to meet his doom, only has this to say about the female lead: "This woman is deeply calculating. Little friend, you'd best keep your distance."
All right, all right. Looks like everyone's in great mental shape.
So why does the plot keep going further and further off track?
Struggling to survive in a novel that's gone off the rails. Sob, sob. She's scared. Just kidding.
