[Genius + transformation + a touch of yuri + martial immortality + no romance + nontraditional succubus + sensible values, not for everyone + Buddhist cultivation + slow burn]
[This book’s heroine is a mighty, ambitious woman with the world in her heart and her sights set far and wide. She is not a soft, adorable little thing, and there is no romance plot.]
A former rich playboy drinks himself to death at a karaoke club. When he wakes, he has transmigrated into the body of a succubus courtesan and said a final goodbye to his wicked old buddies.
The problem is, she discovers that her new body comes with a whole heap of trouble. She’s even a fake spy, and if she fails her mission, she’ll be killed. To save her own skin, she decides to make money and run, only to discover that this world is downright bizarre: everything she can think of has already been done by someone else. She’s screwed.
Before she can even save her own life, she discovers that a succubus’s body is a natural cultivation vessel, usable by both men and women with no side effects. Realizing she has become walking Tang Monk meat, she spends her days hiding from people. She thought she had exceptional talent, but she can’t get into a sect. With no other choice, she learns martial arts and trains her body, seeking immortality through the martial path. Martial arts become immortal arts, and she creates a path to martial immortality that no one has ever walked before. From then on, the lie that immortals and mortals on the Pangu Continent belong to separate worlds becomes a thing of the past. Mortals without spiritual roots can also become immortals. Immortals are mortals, and mortals are immortals.
Kong Jingqiu points her long saber at the countless people lusting after her and says, “You’re not even worthy of dying by my hand.”
A novel about cultivation and transformation, the writing is excellent and the plot is tense and coherent. The protagonist has a furnace constitution and is a true novice who knows nothing about the world of cultivation. Through a few encounters and life-and-death crises, the author allows the protagonist to acquire some knowledge, skills, and abilities bit by bit, and also describes the entire world view to the readers bit by bit. As a reader, there is no God's perspective, the sense of substitution is strong, and every crisis is heart-wrenching. What's even more rare is that the protagonist has no divine power or explosive seeds. The fighting scenes are thrilling, and the battle of wits scenes are thrilling at every step. The protagonist is almost inseparable from foreign objects, with a strong beauty that comes from the bitter cold of plum blossoms. Another highlight is that the author's description of Buddhism is positive and in-depth. Unlike many fairy tales, which are just ordinary Jianghu sects, the Buddhism here has Buddha nature. The third highlight is the author's setting of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. The Cultivation Immortal Sect is about values, a sense of belonging, and a clean life experience. It is not just a casual cultivator who accepts top-level qualifications. This should also be the case. What can truly be passed down for hundreds of years must be values, not just strength.
The story is simple, the writing is excellent, and it is a bit of a literary novel. There is almost no description of women's clothing, women's bodies and female degeneration. The plot is compact, the later writing is very funny, the transformation story is about fantasy and immortality, and the battle scenes are well described. Overall, it is not bad, and it is a book worth collecting. It's okay to stop it.
It's good to see the latest updates in one go
It's getting better and better. I hope the author will work harder.
