Synopsis:
[Strong female lead + ensemble cast + cozy daily life + immersive storytelling + farming + slow pace + personal growth]
The day her own younger brother stabbed her and sent her tumbling into the Nan Zhao Forest, Jiang Zhi thought she was done for.
She never imagined that two years later, she'd still be alive and become a sect's direct disciple.
It all began with an unexpected encounter in the Nan Zhao Forest.
Just after two people had fished Jiang Zhi out and brought her to the Yunxian Sect,
the first thing she did was sit down to a hot meal.
Looking at the Yunxian Sect dining hall before her,
spirit mushroom stir-fried with chicken? I'll have one.
Spicy spirit fish? I'll have one.
Braised spirit jade shrimp?
I'll have one of everything!
Who is Jiang Zhi, you ask?
“She's my delicate little magic cultivator apprentice, who needs to learn a whole lot more techniques,” said Yun Yu.
“She's my junior sister who never gets up for morning classes, which lets me save face in front of the senior sisters on the other peaks,” said Yun Lanruo.
“She’s my fellow disciple and meal buddy,” said Ming Jiaojiao.
“She’s the fellow disciple who shares her Cloud-Treading Board with me,” said Wu Xingzhi.
“She’s the junior sister from the neighboring peak who can't swing a weapon-refiner's hammer, but still made me craft a special one for her,” said Yang Jingzhi.
And what about Jiang Zhi's views on romance?
She isn't interested in anyone weaker than her.
Anyone stronger than her just makes her want to surpass them.
And her peers can't understand her ideals and ambitions.
There is a romance plot.
An everyday ensemble story with immersive worldbuilding, farming, and cultivation.
Not conventional cultivation, and not an over-the-top power fantasy.
