[Gentle, guiding wicked demon father vs. rebellious immortal-sect disciple who grows over time] No System, no transmigration, not a power fantasy
Lin Zhiyan thinks she's been reborn. But what kind of person gets reborn in a coffin? And two hundred years in the future, at that?!
What the hell, is this a zombie resurrection?
She climbs out of the coffin and finds the world has fallen apart. She was framed, died a miserable death, and is infamous even after death. Even passing dogs stop to pee on her before moving on.
She was begging with a bowl by the city wall when a senior disciple drags her back to the immortal sect. To stay alive, she plays dumb and acts sweet, but everyone really thinks they can push her around. She's had enough!
Her rebellious phase is two hundred years late, but it's finally here. She turns her back on the sect and joins their immortal cultivator nemesis, the evil, ruthless, and utterly depraved Chen Jinghe!
Wait, (stunned) Chen Jinghe, your character is completely off!
“Ahhh, this little doll is so cute. She'll definitely love it! I'll buy it for her!”
“Such a fierce but adorable little wildcat... Just like her! I'm taking it home!”
“What? You say she drinks and smokes in private, and has committed every crime under the sun? ...Well, that's because I taught her so well, isn't it?”
Lin Zhiyan: “Oh no, Chen Jinghe, stop treating me like a cat...”
He doesn't see himself as some lofty guide. He is content to be the stepping-stone she walks on as she rises, the storm that sends her soaring, and the current that carries her along.
