The story follows a villainous power system and a romance plot. The core setting should cover a cultivation hierarchy, such as Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core; the distribution of sects and factions; the types and rarity of spiritual roots; and systems for magical treasures and medicinal pills. The protagonist could be a good-for-nothing who rises against the odds or a genius concealing their identity, while the villains should have progressively greater power and increasingly compelling motives. The romance could follow an enemies-to-lovers dynamic or a fated bond.
