[Tomb raiding + cultivation + pseudo-harem + secret identity + woman disguised as a man + no romance + no System]
An original female lead in an out-of-character plot. She's a powerful cultivator and a rogue cultivator, with lots of skills. I can't write romance, so you can ship characters, but there's no official pairing in the main story, only some ambiguous moments. I'll write a few pairings I like in the extras. The original characters belong to Uncle San; the original characters I create belong to me. The plot includes The Mystic Nine, Southern Archives, Restart, and more. I won't bash or glorify anyone. I'm so tired of seeing novels either praise a character to the skies or drag XX through the mud. I'll break up canon pairings, so if you can't accept that, feel free to leave... That's all for the warnings.
Let's give Zhang Qiling a happier childhood and save him from some of his awful experiences, along with a few other characters I like:
1. Tentative pairing: Zhang Qishan × Jing Ning. Breaking up the Shan-Yue pairing; these two will have an unrequited love story.
2. Breaking up the Salted Shrimp pairing. Shrimp Boy will work for the female lead as her butler, and Zhang Haiyan will be paired with Zhang Haiqi, making one of my favorite ships come true.
3. Zhang Rishan and Jing Ning will have a century-long wait. I'll make it angsty. I'm dying laughing at myself. What am I doing? One unrequited love and one century-long wait?!
4. I won't make Zhang Qiling suffer. Of course, he's called Zhang Xiao Guan here. The main story is basically maternal love; maybe in the extras that love will turn into something else. Wait, no...
5. I won't save the second generation of the Nine Gates. They deserve what they get. I'll save the third generation a little, but not much. They're the only ones who can save themselves.
And now, the story begins
