Lin Wei, a struggling author of cultivation novels, never dreamed she would transmigrate into the half-finished book she was writing and become Lingwei, an Dao Ancestor reduced to a remnant soul. It would be bad enough that the inherited Purple Mansion secret realm was full of leaks, but the tragic, powerful demon god Yeyuan, whom she had written as “brutal, bloodthirsty, and utterly destroyed in body and soul,” has already fallen into someone’s trap ahead of schedule. To keep her own characters from meeting such an unjust end, Lin Wei is forced into “Dao Ancestor laborer” mode: she uses modern geometry to modify the secret realm’s defensive formations and gets chaotic runes to obey. She even makes “empathy pills” as a “fluffing-up remedy.” Now the once-terrifying Yeyuan tugs on the drawstring of her hoodie and asks, “Are we changing the plot today?” But Su Qingyao’s Demon-Slaying Assembly is drawing closer, and spirit-gathering crystals for the Demon-Locking Formation have been buried across all seven peaks. Lin Wei watches the power of the Dao within her dwindle day by day, then looks at Yeyuan, whose demonic energy has turned into fluffy little balls circling her, and suddenly realizes: it’s not just the plot that’s gone off track. Why is the tragic demon god looking at her more and more strangely?
This is a lighthearted cultivation story about “an author forced to rewrite her own script and spoiling a tragic, powerful demon god into a well-behaved darling.” There’s no bitter feud between immortals and demons, just the Dao Ancestor’s “plot-revision KPIs,” the demon god’s “daily fluffing check-in,” and a hypocritical saintess who keeps trying to stir up trouble only to have it thwarted. When it comes to saving the plot, having fun is what matters most!
