[Traditional cultivation progression + local cannon-fodder supporting heroine + all-around mastery of pills, talismans, formations, and artifacts + multiple male leads, all chaste]
Fang Lianjian knows her spiritual roots are poor. At fourteen, she has only reached the second layer of Qi Refining. Her greatest wish in life is to make pills for her older sister and, when the day comes for her sister to join a sect, have her bring Fang Lianjian along, so they can finally escape the Fang family's generations-old status as tenant farmers.
But on the eve of her sister's admission to a sect, someone crippled her cultivation and shattered her dantian, ending all hope of pursuing immortality!
Only then did Fang Lianjian realize that the world she lived in was actually a book!
The female lead in the book is innocent and carefree, while the male lead, a cold and aloof master, dotes on her. When someone mentions that a tenant farmer's daughter has the same spiritual roots as the male lead and hopes he will take her as a disciple, the jealous female lead brutally destroys the girl's dantian, then uses the incident to flirt and joke with the male lead.
Fang Lianjian reads the words on the page, her eyes bloodshot.
How could people like them possibly be the protagonists favored by the Heavenly Dao?!
Fang Lianjian makes up her mind:
She will save her sister!
She will seize the female lead's opportunities!
She will take the male lead's destiny for herself, too!
She will learn everything: alchemy, talisman-making, formations, and artifact crafting. She will fight for everything: cultivation partners, wealth, and sacred grounds.
She has to be faster, faster still, outrunning the male and female leads, outrunning the will of Heaven itself!
Until the day she strikes that sword!
