[Comeback and revenge against scumbags + cold-blooded master vs. corrupted disciple + mastermind behind the scenes vs. unhinged beauty + pure love + a redemption chase that comes too late]
~
Jiang Ling is an orphan with little talent for cultivation. Determined to escape a fate in which others control her, she vows to grow stronger, diligently training without pause as she pursues the Great Dao.
~
The good news: A celestial sect takes her in.
~
The bad news: As a mere servant.
~
The crazy news: Through sheer grit, she outworks everyone and earns the esteem of the aloof Immortal Venerable, who makes an exception and accepts her as a personal disciple!
~
She sees her master as a god, but he sees her as a tool to sever his inner demon and attain a state free of emotion.
~
At the brink of despair, Si Xingli, whose spirit had dwelled in the bracelet on her wrist solely to protect her, burns up the last of his divine soul for her sake.
~
The bracelet shatters. His spirit vanishes.
~
She is heartbroken, and consumed by hatred!
~
Dragging her grievously wounded body and fueled by an unshakable vow of revenge, she falls into a rift in space and miraculously survives.
~
When she wakes, she is in a strange world far from home.
~
From then on, the world has one fewer devout seeker of the Dao and one more avenger who only wants to grow stronger.
~
Jiang Ling has a clear goal:
She will become powerful, return to her old home, and cut down that sanctimonious Immortal Venerable with her sword.
~
As for the prodigies and powerful figures from every realm she meets along the way, she has no intention of provoking them, much less taking responsibility for the love of unhinged, obsessive men who can’t have her.
~
In short, if they’re unhinged and obsessive, that’s their problem. They’d better not get in the way of her cultivation!!!
Hmm 🤔 She is cultivating immortality and torturing scum at the same time. How can she not be considered a great heroine?
