Starting Out as a Rogue Cultivator? No Problem, Watch Me Conquer the Cultivation World

(A touch of ensemble cast, no romance, a coming-of-age story with a strong female lead)

Mu Yuansi was a socially anxious, well-behaved young woman in the 21st century. One of her few hobbies was reading novels. Having devoured countless books, she had read hundreds upon hundreds of cultivation novels. She had imagined countless times that she would transmigrate and become a genius who could trample the male lead underfoot and beat the female lead to a pulp.

Of course, fantasies were one thing. As a model young woman, Mu Yuansi firmly believed in materialism. That is, until she got so nervous about an exam that she tripped over her own feet outside the exam hall and hit the ground hard. Then she started believing.

Looking at her new body after transmigrating, all scrawny, tiny, and filthy, Mu Yuansi fell silent. It was fine. Maybe she was the lost child of some great cultivation clan? She waited for a while, but aside from the lingering concussion from the original owner's fall, she received no memories at all.

No memories was fine, too. She was just a child, after all, so it made sense that there weren't many memories to inherit. But surely she'd get one of the biggest golden fingers in transmigration-into-a-book stories: a System. She waited again, but nothing happened.

That was the last straw for Mu Yuansi.

She had no golden finger, but life had to go on. Wouldn't it be great to join a sect and coast through life?

What? None of the three major sects would take her? Well, then she'd just have to roam the world as a lone cultivator.

No worries. What goes around comes around. Never bully a young girl for being poor. When Mu Yuansi returned from her travels, the three major sects would regret it. They'd pine for her, go crazy over her, and bang their heads against the wall!

Just when she thought everything had finally settled down, she discovered that the cultivation world still held hidden mysteries.
