After the First to Fall in the Cultivation World

No CP + strong female lead

One-line summary: After a once-in-a-generation genius falls from the heights, she plays the pig to eat the tiger and gives everyone a face-slapping lesson.

A strong female lead who is cool and stubborn at first, then becomes savvy and streetwise.

As the cultivation world’s greatest leader, Ling Qingyao spent the first half of her life like the hero of a feel-good power fantasy. She rose to fame at a young age and became the cultivation world’s greatest leader. How glorious and carefree her life was!

Then, after a cultivation mishap, she fell into the South Sea and vanished without a trace for fifteen years.

Fifteen years later, a fortune-teller named Ling Hanzhang appeared in Guanggu City, Qingzhou. Everyone said she could read fortunes, calculate the future, and capture ghosts and vanquish demons. Her only flaw was charging a little too much.

Over the past fifteen years, Ling Hanzhang had adapted perfectly to life as a fortune-teller rather than the cultivation world’s greatest leader. But it seemed she was never destined to take it easy.

When her senior sister’s orphan appeared before her, and the mastermind behind the events of fifteen years ago resurfaced, Ling Hanzhang knew she was in for a busy time.

“No one in the cultivation world gets to decide my fate! Only I do. I’ll make everyone know that I, Ling Qingyao, am the strongest leader in the cultivation world!”

Years later, Ling Hanzhang stretched and said with a smile, “Success isn’t defined by anyone else. Whether I’m the cultivation world’s greatest leader or a fortune-teller, I chose that path myself. Whatever you choose for yourself is the best path. The scenery from the mountaintop is certainly beautiful, but who can say the mountainside has no beautiful scenery of its own?”
