Yun Zhao unexpectedly acquired a mysterious jade slip and discovered that by spending spirit stones, she could simulate how her life would unfold. Excitedly using this "cultivation simulator" to avoid all kinds of danger, she was horrified to discover that she was actually a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a cultivation novel. In the original story, she coveted the male lead, was set up by the heroine, and died horribly at the jaws of a demonic beast.
With the simulator in hand, Yun Zhao made up her mind: treasure your life and stay away from the plot! She wouldn't steal anyone's opportunities or make enemies, but would focus on learning how to stay alive. Alchemy, talismans, formations, artifact crafting, puppets... She was going to learn it all! While the original hero and heroine were still tangled up in romance, Yun Zhao had quietly amassed everything she needed to ascend.
"Chosen by fate? Plot-induced death? In front of my simulator, they're just data I can test over and over again.", Yun Zhao, master of the survival path, technical-school cultivator
Very wonderful
