[Human-Demon Dual Cultivation] [Supreme Ice-Type Spirit Root] [Genius Protagonist] [Light Ensemble Cast] [Past and Present Lives] [Nontraditional Cultivation] [Reborn Male Lead] [Two Powerful Leads, with the Female Lead Stronger]
Ling Yiyao is the daughter of the original story's great villain. Before awakening her spirit root at the age of fifteen, she was merely a half-demon despised by everyone in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
She is also the villain's daughter, abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.
To take revenge, she hides her identity and changes her demonic appearance.
She returns to the human world to seek her family, only to find that her supposed relatives want to dig out her spirit root and force her to die!
The people of the imperial capital are also living in misery!
Her biological father glossed over her suffering in only a few lines.
"After all, Suhua did not grow up by My side, so naturally her temperament is unstable. I must put her through trials."
But the trials he put her through came in the form of one crisis after another, including attempts on her life by her own siblings.
She came to understand clearly that the only way to rise to power was to climb over the corpses of her own brothers and sisters.
By secretly working with others and proving her Dao by killing her father, she could atone for the sins of this imperial capital!
Three years later, the people honored her as the "Empress Dowager Suhua," while the ministers cursed her as a demoness who seduced the late emperor, poisoned her own father, and brought chaos to the land!
She only sneered, then cast aside imperial power and abandoned the realm, leaving behind only a young son as she stepped onto the path to immortality.
"I would rather be cursed by ten thousand people than covet imperial power."
She pursues immortality so that the Five Provinces will bow before her, the demon race will see the light of day again, and the Child of Destiny will fall from his pedestal!
Content warning: The heroine follows a villainess path and does not know that she is living inside a storybook. The male lead is reborn with a System.
