Tantai Jinghong was originally a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a cultivation novel, the legitimate daughter of a sword-cultivator clan destined to die miserably paving the way for the original heroine. After awakening, she rejects the cutthroat competition among sword cultivators and the shackles of the plot, and switches to Buddhist cultivation. Though blessed with a profound Buddhist nature, she lives by the motto, “Chanting sutras is no match for beating people up. You save them with your fists.” Hot-tempered, fiercely protective, rebellious, and clear-eyed, she turns every Buddhist implement into a weapon: she whacks people with a wooden fish, pelts monsters with bodhi seeds, and blocks blades with her kasaya.
