[Character setup: a female guard with extraordinary fighting skills and a knack for solving cases through gossip vs. a clever, charmingly spoiled young deputy director of the capital’s authorities]
Ling Ge’s only sister was kidnapped by a gang of traffickers disguised as cultivators. After finally finding a way to cultivate through demonic techniques and entering the cultivation world, she died on her very first day after joining the demon faction.
She’d been killed with an arrow by a righteous cultivator for digging up gossip.
Only after her death did she learn that the world she lived in was actually the setting of a story, and she didn’t even rate as an extra.
But the Heavenly Dao was moved by her spirit of “dying for gossip” and sent her to a marginal world, where she could trade interesting gossip for more life.
As a demonic cultivator, she thought this arrangement was utterly unfair. Still, she stamped her foot and signed.
What a joke. Better to live miserably than die! Nothing matters more than staying alive!
