After Jiang Yao died, she transmigrated into a princess who was abused in body and spirit. Enraged, she decided to make a bold move: seize power and claim the throne.
Relying on her cockroach-like ability to take a beating, she successfully ascended the throne. During a hunt, she was ambushed by an assassin. She fought with all her might and was gravely wounded, but at least she survived.
Then a line of cultivators flew overhead on their swords.
Jiang Yao: "..."
"So this world has cultivation? Why am I struggling away as a short-lived emperor, then? To hell with being the heroine of an abusive romance, and to hell with that damned emperor. Isn't cultivation way better?"
After countless hardships, she finally stood beside the Spirit Testing Stone, just one step away from the path of cultivation.
The good news: she tested as having a supreme-grade fire spirit root.
The bad news: this small world was so rich in spiritual energy that five spirit roots counted as a heavenly spirit root, making their owners hotly sought after by all the major sects.
Four spirit roots were considered high-grade, three were mid-grade, and two were low-grade.
As for a single spirit root, they called it a useless spirit root. No sect was willing to take someone like that in.
The worse news: the male lead, who had abused her like a dog, had also come after her. He had a five-root heavenly spirit root. The white lotus who had climbed over her to rise to power had come too, and she had four spirit roots.
Jiang Yao: "Heh. So what if I have a useless spirit root? So what if no sect will take me? So what if two cockroaches are after me? My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's!"
Jiang Yao embarked on her life as a rogue cultivator, battling her way forward until a fortunate coincidence led her to a mysterious opportunity.
The major sects and powerful clans all came after her, killing for her treasures.
Jiang Yao gave a cold laugh, snatched their treasures and left, deliberately leaving behind taunting words.
Hunted by all the major powers, she was as slippery as an eel, cunning and impossible to catch...
