[Women's fiction + unconventional cultivation + doted-on by all + no obvious romance + ensemble cast + strongest female lead]
The Heavenly Dao sent you down the mountain to undergo a tribulation, so why did you come back with a whole bunch of disciples?
- Sheng An, the calamity star sent down from heaven, reached Foundation Establishment at ten, formed a Nascent Soul at thirteen, broke through to Deification at sixteen, and reached full Mahayana at seventeen. Now she was about to undergo her tribulation and ascend.
- Wait, weren't you supposed to be a calamity star? Are calamity stars in the cultivation world always this extraordinary?
- Sheng An smiled faintly. Who told you I was a calamity star?
- Sheng An, the Violet Star, went down the mountain at seventeen to undergo her tribulation. Her master told her to understand five kinds of fate and experience the five sufferings of the mortal world within a month.
But the first thing Sheng An did after coming down the mountain was... take a conveniently available elder brother as her disciple?
Next, she led astray a fake heiress, lovingly raised by her real parents, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, who only wanted to become a tool in the Marquis's household struggle for power.
When their biological daughter returned home and their son and adopted daughter abandoned the family business to follow her around all day, the Marquis and his wife could no longer sit still. They were determined to find a way to marry her off.
Wait, what do you mean the prince went off to cultivate with her, too???
Sheng An kept taking on more and more disciples, and successfully became the kind of immortal who brought trouble wherever she went. Monsters and evil spirits that hadn't appeared in Bian'an City for hundreds of years all came straight for her. Was this the attraction principle of the Violet Star?
Meanwhile, the power struggles among the highest authorities and the family's most deeply buried scandals gradually came to light.
Only then did Sheng An suddenly understand: the path to overcoming her tribulation lay in all of this!
