A satisfying spatial fantasy + a white-lotus facade + black-lotus behavior + ancient setting + romance + cultivation
From the start, her half-sister plots against her, her stepmother tries to poison her, and her scumbag fiancé breaks off their engagement. Nice, all the usual short-drama tropes are here. She knows how this goes.
In public, she's a frail, easy-to-bully white lotus, but underneath, she's rotten to the core. She sobs prettily, making everyone feel sorry for her.
Scene one: They send a broken-down carriage to pick me up and take me home. How can I put up with that? I act weak when we meet, then make them all get diarrhea the next second... Sure enough, I'm bad luck for my family.
Scene two: I attend a palace banquet, and they set one trap after another. They've gone this far, so I might as well humor them and go take a look...
Scene three: Sigh, there's no need for my stepmother to go to so much trouble. Just set a trap for me, let me know, and I'll be sure to play along. Hehe!
After fulfilling the original owner's wish, Shen Qingli doesn't want to be trapped by marriage. When she also discovers that she really is bad luck for her family, she decides to go out and see the world.
The world isn't all that wonderful, either, and she doesn't know what switch she flipped. She's hunted every step of the way, yet keeps stumbling upon opportunities for cultivation. Her whole life is a mix of danger and fortune.
It looks like the heroine's story, but you only realize she's a delivery girl when you meet the villain.
Who cares who Miss Shen is? She doesn't. She hasn't even figured out what she's after yet. These things are all external. She refuses to be defined. She wants to find what she truly seeks and stop feeling lost.
