The Unwanted: A Survival Guide

[The Fake Li Route Ending is being updated]

Shen Zhi transmigrates into a chaotic era as an insignificant nobody.

After Li Dabai casually takes her back to Tongwen Hall, she grows up alongside Zhang Zifan, but all she wants is to lie flat and stay alive.

The jianghu is too dangerous? Then she’ll play dumb, keep her talents hidden, and stay out of sight. She trains hard in lightness skills, all so she can make a getaway someday!

Unfortunately, her “bad influence” Zhang Zifan is always getting into trouble.

Again and again, he drags her into the protagonist group’s messes, from Raojiang to the Central Plains, from assassinations to last-minute rescues.

At first, she can’t stop grumbling to herself: “I just want to stay alive. Why is that so hard?!”

Until she looks at the people around her:

Li Xingyun’s determination, Ji Ruxue’s cool reserve, Lu Linxuan’s straightforwardness…

Suddenly, she feels the jianghu might not be so bad after all.

“If I can’t escape, then I’ll live it up and make the most of the journey!”

She puts away her escape plans and takes up the long-forgotten Full Moon Bow.

This time, she’s fighting not to survive, but for the chivalrous spirit in her heart that has never faded.

❗ [Content Warnings and Setting Notes]

1️⃣ The heroine transmigrates but knows nothing about the plot and has no god’s-eye view. She survives by relying on her own wits.

2️⃣ She has talent from the start and grows stronger over time. She is neither invincible nor an overpowered protagonist, and faces genuine struggles.

3️⃣ Pairings currently planned: Fake Li (Li Yun Chu), Hou Qing, and Li Cunli. Each has a separate route and ending.

4️⃣ Many original interpretations and an OOC warning. Everything is in service of serving up delicious romance!
