The Asura Empress: Every Villain Is in My Rebirth Script

For twenty years, Feng Lingxi basked in the gentle light of Qingfeng Pavilion. She was the brightest sun in the martial world. Her music could soothe murderous rage, her sword could protect all living beings, and even sparrows dared to perch on her shoulder and peck at her treats. Then, one night, the Bloodshadow Sect’s black-iron greatsword cleaved through the moonlight. Her father’s warm blood splattered across her plain white skirt, while her mother’s final words mingled with the whistle of blades, grinding her innocence to dust.

The ruthless Leng Wuchang hung her sword tassel beneath the Sect Leader’s command token for all to see. When her childhood sweetheart, Bai Moyu, pointed his sword at her throat, it was still stained with the blood of their fellow disciples. The moment she plunged into the freezing pool, a mysterious jade pendant burst into a dim glow. A System calling itself the “Book of Cause and Effect” whispered into her mind: “Want revenge? Trade your kindness for power.”

When Xiao Yichen’s sword blocked a lethal attack for her for the third time, she discovered that the jade pendant at his waist bore the secret insignia of the Bloodshadow Sect. Darkened Feng Lingxi pressed her bloodied fingertip to the System interface and sneered at the notification: “Innocence -10. Acquired Netherworld Sword Art.” From that moment on, she was no longer the cherished ideal whom anyone could trample at will, but a blade of slaughter hanging over the martial world. Yet when she finally stood before her enemies, the jade pendant in her palm began to burn. The price of defying fate, it turned out, was to erase her former self completely.
