I Became the Female Side Character Substitute in a Novel About Two Men

[System / No romance / Traditional cultivation / Everything centers on the heroine] Liu Jiao once believed she was the chosen one. Her master’s favor and her fellow disciples’ envy convinced her that she was the heroine of a master-disciple romance from a storybook. Only when the young man who was her master’s ideal returned did she realize that all that tenderness had been for nothing but her resemblance to him. When her master coldly ordered her spiritual root to be cut out and used to heal his beloved, she finally shattered her illusions and leaped into the Forbidden Land of Ten Thousand Calamities. When she returned, her master became the first soul to fall by her sword. But it seemed this was only the beginning. The secrets the System refused to reveal and the truth hidden beneath the world made her realize that an unseen hand had long been controlling her fate. “It doesn’t matter. I was born to fight back.” One day, she would reach the realm beyond the heavens and uncover the truth behind it all.
